BMW also uses boxer engines in some motorcycles! Porsche is the premium brand with "know-how" by keeping manufacturing boxer engines for decades (specially in their main model- 911) and Subaru is "normal" brand that has this know-how also. The VW Beetle had boxer engines because Hitler demanded Ferdinand Porsche to design it. Many solutions and engineering in this car became part of Porsche philosophy...some of heritage you still can see today.

In current doing eninges in college so this was a big help. Thanks mate

Just such an awesome educational car video! Love it!

i dont know much about cars, i know a lot about everything except cars as i have never cared to know about them. i found this very informative and encourage you to share more videos. thank you

thanks Bryan! love all ur reviews!

I really enjoy learning from this host.

Great series. Very informative and interesting.

2:40 There is no such a thing as a W8 in the R8 and there has never been one. There is however a W12 engine in the A8.

Thanks!!!! Learned a lot again!

Such a great video!

concise and insightful video on engine configurations

Fantastic video...well presented..

Thanks for the video, starting a project on a 1969 firebird (:P) that my brother in law just didn't have enough money to fix up, gunna take awhile so i took to labeling each part (my training wheels lol) and this video really helped.

Thank u very much its very helpful for me to understad configure of all engines very easyli

This is what i really needed more car topics

I would have never ,ever expected any type of "Automotive Mechanic's Narrative" from a "Computer Geek?" I already know a lot more than he does!

That's a new knowledge for me, thanks

Kind of glad to know what it means to have an inline 6 in my car.

You really need your own channel , pls I love your videos !

Great video as always

I don't want to be that guy... but as far as I know the R8 never used the W8...

It is so cool video. Thank you

Technically the Testarossa 12 isn't really a "flat" engine... well, it's flat, but it's not a boxer. The pistons aren't opposed in pairs like VW, Subaru, Alfa, etc., but opposite cylinders share crankpins, so the Ferrari is really using a 180-degree V12. Neat, huh?

Flat engines and boxers are not exactly the same, flat engine is basically a V engine with a 180 degree separation between thecylinder banks. What this means is that in a boxer engine two opposing pistons will always be going the opposite way at the same time while in flat V engine they will move the same way. This gives the boxer layout a better balance. However flat V is usually used with high number of pistons like in the Testarossa so different banks of cylinders will be trying to balance each other out so it does not matter that much.

Their is a small but BIG difference between FLAT and BOXER engine.. In the FLAT engine(correct term is "V-FLAT") the pistons move at the same direction while in the BOXER the pistons move in contrast..

Extremely entertaining

I love this

excellent

The BMW inline 6 was one of the sweetest 6 cylinder engine there is. Turbocharged technology killed that

Love it learn engine video......

Ohhh ok it makes sense !

The R8 never had a W engine layout. They have V8s and V10s. Newer R8s don’t even have the V8 option anymore.

The most famous Boxer engine was in the VW Beetle and the Air cooled Porsches. .

My favorite design is the boxer

I have 3 different vehicles that have 3 different engine types. The 1.8 Liter inline 4 cylinder engine from a 2012 Honda Civic, the 2.5 Liter Flat 4 Boxer engine from the 2014 Subaru Forester, and the 3.5 Liter V6 engine from a 2007 Honda Odyssey with Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) are all naturally aspirated, no turbochargers or superchargers. The Honda Odyssey and Honda Civic have five-speed automatic transmissions, while the Subaru Forester has a Lineartronic CVT, one of the best and most reliable CVT in the market.

i agree with you 100%

what is the one that makes the car super

flat engines, of any cylinders, 4,6,8 whatever and inline 6 are the most reliable designs. My theory is that it has to do with perfect balance. They are using nature to remove any shocks and vibration, which makes the parts stay in the perfect spot the longest. Look at Subaru flat 4. No piston skirt at all. No counterweights on the crank, at all. All the parts are using gravity to stay in place. pistons are laying flat resting on the cylinder wall. Doesn't take much to get them moving side to side. Inline 6 uses physics and rotational angles to make it run smooth and thus very long.

Love you.

I beauty of engines

Technically the Ferrari Testarossa engine is a 180 degree V12 because each opposed pair of pistons shares a crank pin as like with any other V-engine design. Porsche 911 6 cylinder boxer engines (and all "true" boxer engines) have each opposed pair of pistons on its own crank pin like in any standard inline engine. A Porsche flat-6 engine isn't appreciably shorter than an inline-6. In the case of the Porsche engine the flat configuration's low centre of gravity and ability be to air-cooled was the more important concern than was minimizing engine length.

When will you make your mini series.

You left out the Slant-6 by Chrysler! Also, you could have mentioned that aircraft used to use radial engines, just to drive home the point. Volvo’s famous In-line 5 should also get an honorable mention as another type!

Boxers are also famous for use in BMW motorcycles

is a straight 6the same as a flat 6?

i'm curious with x engine,Honda that honda experimented in 1960s...

I have question. Is there a car tech for wavedashing? Like do cars even have air dodging? And if so do they cancel once you hit the ground? I hope the car metagame isn't as bad as Brawl...

Started off by saying " I'd need a mini series to explain the different engines " Goes to check if miniseries is made in the 2 years that's past. Please someone link me to one if there is :)

So what do the cylinders do?

They're not messing with you. A typical fuel-driven car runs on what is called a "internal combustion engine" thus explosions. These mini- controlled explosions drive the cylinders, which in turn rotate the crankshaft ( see video). The rotational power from the crankshaft ultimately gets diverted to your wheels, and allows you to move.

Can you coment the deckers double cycle engine ?

iwant to know how horizontal type looks like!

Actually, the V4 used in the Saab 96 was made by Ford but was used by Saab. only engine they did make was the 3 cyl two stroke which was showing it's age and was more or less fell out of usage. even though it was quite... the piece of engineering itself. had automatic oil injection and whatnot.

V8 for life

I am thinking the most efficient would be the boxer piston engines. My reason is because gravity wouldn't effect the piston movement since it is perpendicular to the force of gravity. The effect of gravity must be very low though still

@ThomasNiemisto

Weight is a conservative force, so gravity doesn't have any effect on engine efficiency.

One question. Are inline 6 cylinder engines better balanced than V6 engine? Thank you.

@edlingja1

7 жыл бұрын

Siddhant Dwivedy Depends and no... Straight 6 is harder to reduce vibrations than a v because of the non opposing firing sequence. They do well, but not as smooth as more balanced opposing engines. Although that being said, some straights are smooth and some v's are rough.

@macduggles

Siddhant Dwivedy Yes! V6 engines are inherently unstable and must use counterbalances of some sort or another. Same with V8's and L4's.
