When the descendants of the original builders use the original drawings that they still own, it is no longer a Replica or Recreation, it is simply the next chassis number in the production run.

Don't know about that...I agree it is more than a replica, but shouldn't be linked to the ones that actually raced...I haven't looked specifically but I would be surprised if they could match things like alu-alloy formula's, crankshaft hardening, bearing materials....I suspect there would be a fair amount of CNC work where castings were originally used. If it is just another of the production run, it would be similar market value - absolutely no chance of that.

I regard it as an evolution of the original. Nothing unusual about progressive evolution in the development cycle of any competition vehicle.

1.5 liter 600 bhp V16. 12,000 rpm. 82 psi of boost from the Rolls-Royce two-stage centrifugal supercharger. DOHC, alloy block and crankcase. ***IN 1947***

Note to the Editor - we would all appreciate a raw onboard and track action video, sans commentary or backing soundtrack, just the car, the driver and the noise. Edit (2 years later) : For those of a like mindedness, check out Top Gear channels new Tunnel Run series, this BRM is in the second episode.

the old recordings of the flyby still give me goosebumps after hearing them for over 20 years. absolutely astounding little engine

Just stunning. It’s nice to know that level of craftsmanship still exists in the modern era. An absolute credit to its builders and owners.

Years ago I bought a copy of Nick Masons 'Into the Red' book. The CD track of his V16 BRM was played, replayed & played yet again. The change of pitch as the engine revved out, plus the sheer volume was unbelievable. It became a game to play that track for people with a 'guess what engine this is'. Not one correct answer. That little in-car scene was just starting to make noise. Thank You.

I also own a copy of this marvellous book accompanied by the CD you mentioned. Terrific sounds of several racecars e.g. Bugatti or Ferrari 12-cylinders. But yes, the V16 BRM was king!

From listening to the nick masons sound clip almost every day and hearing it actually rev out now gives me all sorts of joy. Really can’t fathom that they built another one from scratch just so that could give that sound to us just like it was in period. Amazing job guys this is what we’ve all been waiting for!!!

The BRM V16 actually was related to the Merlin in a way. They had a Rolls-Royce designed 2-stage centrifugal supercharger. War-winning technology that was transferred in order to win races. Unfortunately it didn't quite work out that way. But the BRM V16 was a provocative concept.

I discovered a dream of mine has come true. Someone was crazy enough to ressurrect this beast new and improved!

Read all about the BRM V16 as a boy. Now 83yo and so pleased to see and HEAR this fabulous re-creation. Thank you from Oz.

I heard these a few times in the late 1960s early 1970s. At Oulton Park Gold Cup in about 1967 Jackie Oliver demonstrated one. Fantastically deafening. Best quote ever, BRM Chief Mechanic, Wilkie Wilkinson I think, in the paddock, spat on each of the sixteen stub exhausts and then declared 'It's only bloody firing on fourteen'. Loved it. This engine at full chat is also my phone ring tone.

It’s a testament to the skill and craftsmanship that an incredibly complex and fickle engine like this V16 could be built today . They did it with The Flying Scotsman called Tornado so hats off to Hall & Hall for building this amazing sounding engine. British Engineering at its finest.

That noise as it picks up each gear.........wonderful

Wow! Why are these old cars so beautifully made? Lift the bonnet and it’s pure art under there, not just trim panels!

I like the interview with John Owen where he talks about seeing the museum cars trundling along at 50mph blipping their throttles and saying how people should have seen the real thing when it was running properly. I think exactly the same thing when talking about V12 Ferraris and V12 Matra-Simcas from the 70s. It's incredible to go to historic weekends and see how the drivers treat cars that are often unique and priceless, but watching the cars being driven in anger in a Grand Prix by drivers like Rindt and Stewart was something I will never forget.

Goosebumps every time

i first learned of this engine over 20 years ago when i was stationed in germany with the us military, and ive been a fan of brm ever since. this is incredible that theyve fabbed a brand new from scratch car, imo one of the coolest looking racing vehicles ever made, and by far the best sounding. excellent work!

Been looking for this car ever since Revival 2022. Epic sound in real life, heard nothing like it before. Ear drums were trembling, just wow!!!

This is one of the greatest revival ever in the automotive history. Love to listen to the beautiful, gorgeous music from those legendary masterpieces!

wow! What an achievement... It sounds... well, like nothing I've ever heard before, absolutely bloody glorious !

I used to work in a small garage in Bourne in the latest 60's early seventieth as a mechanic. BRM were just round the corner and now and then a BRm would be driven round the block! Also they used to rev the engines outside in the yard and I'll never forget the sound! Ironically I used to look after a couple of the workers cars!

Music starts at 4:48.

One of the finest sounding motorcars ever made. Fact!

the most iconic vintage f1 sound ever. the best in my opinion

To recreate a car is one thing, but to recreate an engine with its myriad precisely machined parts - unbelievable. What an ambitious thing to attempt - and yet they succeeded. Wow.

This is what happens when vast wealth meets motoring enthusiasm. A super yatch would be nice but this is something you share and enjoy with so many people. The greatest thing is that whats been created will live on for decades to come.

A symphony with a seat, a steering wheel and four tyres.😊

this is amazing well done to all involved, thanks for sharing

That has to be the most beautiful race car I have ever seen or heard. Chilling…

As a lover of the ICE, and having read several books on modern 6 and eight cylinder engines, starting with the small block Chevy, I'm trying to wrap my mind around a 1.5 liter, (which is approximately 90 cubic inches) 16 cylinder powerplant!! Valve sizes, piston diameters, crankshaft stroke, etc. must be nearly microscopic when compared to modern engine specifications and dimensions! The engineers who designed, built and maintain these engines are absolutely amazing!

Best sounding race car EVER !

I get goosebumps every time I hear that sound. Incredible! one day I would love to hear it in the flesh.

I had a recording of that engine on full song through the gears and after a bad day at work I would play it a couple of times over and believe it or not it was fanbloodytastic and rejuvenated my mechanical spirit thanks for bringing it back to life 👍👨🏻‍🏭🇬🇧

THAT S FANTASTIC what a great project that is and to hear it after FABULOUS SOUNDS . WE can all agree it sounds as great as it looks !! THANK YOU

I've always loved cars, some of them just sound delicious. But this is the most beautiful mechanical symphony I've ever heard! I would love to hear one of these in person. I can't imagine it, but it probably sounds even better. I watched this last night, and I'm back to hear it again.

What a beauty and amazingly cool project - thanks.

I absolutely adore people who are crazy enough to pull stuff like this off. Just to allow people to be able to see and hear the car "used in anger" is amazing. Kudos! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦

Magnificent in every way, shape and form, oh and not to forget that special treat for the ears.

It is one of my possessions I treasure most. The CD with race car sounds that came with an issue of Motorsport. It includes the BRM V16. What a sound!

Amazing and brilliant to have it running

Sounds awesome

Bloody Marvelous, I say !!

It’s wonderful to bring back those amazing cars from the past in the present., they are living museum artworks🎉🎊🎇

What a wonderful and fascinating project.

When I was a boy, my parents would often go to Folkingham Airfield for a picnic on a Sunday afternoon in the hope that Raymond Mays would take the V16 for a test ride. I think we saw (and heard) it only once or twice in the early fifties.

Wow!! I remember this car so well from my youth, always hoping it would do better, but almost always disappointed. It would be nice to know those dyno figures, and a time-lapse build video would be fantastic, plus a look at the drawings, so much more to explore here. But that sound.....

Thank you a Great History .

i have heard real audio and played Grand Prix Legends with real audio samples but nothing does justice to this, and the fly by was a fantastic unique sound. Alot of respect and thanks to all involved.

Absolutely marvelous. BRM engineers were some of the best of their time. The V12s had a pleasant but aggressive sound. The V16 is just raw aggression!

It's an unreal bit of kit. I had the pleasure of interviewing Rick Hall and Paul & Simon Owen on-stage at Race Retro a couple of weeks ago and they're all fantastic people.

Sounds like a Gen4 NASCAR with X pipes. Lovely, a piece of art!
