despite how it may sound, exhaust flames will be awesome =)

I really cannot wait to hear one of the real 2014-spec engines for the first time. Not sure if I'll smile or cry though.

there are 3 advantages for a bigger engine: first, they run with less stress and thus last longer. second, they put out more power assuming equal parameters third, output is smoother and less dependent on revs.

@zk92000 I think that has something to do with it, but I think there was complaints from the drivers about the lack of torque, and therefore acceleration out of slow corners.

indeed, the power of the 80s + technology of today 2014 will be just GREAT people don't get it

Sounds like a Moto XD Bring back the V10s

Sound the Alfa 155 for DTM, she had a powerful V6 and manual gear shifting.

So you recognized my mistake, - good boy :-)

Scrfce123 Actualy, the only change will be the new engines and lower noses, so the new cars will be minimaly slower trough the bends. The only difference will be different sound and a slightly less (or more, no one knows yet) power from the engine.

little v6 turbos are fine with me if they give the 1200bhp they gave in 1980s qualifying spec :)

The rpm changes don't sound like gearshifting to me, but more like load changes during an enginetest on a testbench

2014, when F1 engines become smaller than ordinary car engines. There is no replacement for displacement. ANd turboes = turbo lag, increased pressure and more engines blowing up.

People want lots of noise and excitement and action

F1 needs to go to 1.5L V10 Engines from 2015 onwards LET EVERYONE HEAR! let it be well known. Make it to ecclestone personally.

IMO H/V/W16's were the best. =)

F1 needs a PROPER V10 engine with 6 or more litres. 1.5L is practically a sedan engine.

wow, thats amazing, something to do with being green and fuel consumption

Oh, definitely not the 80's engines. I can't remember what my comment was in reply to something about why they went from straight 4 engines to V6 engines. More torque, and more power.

So what about 1985? They drove 1.5 litre turbo engines and those cars were one of the most beastly and frightening cars in F1 history /watch?v=8c0o697F1g8

@Omarturkol good guess, but wrong ! Sometimes V6 and V12 sound very simular.

Lack of torque? I assume you aren't talking about the F1 engines from the 80s. :)

wow.

you dont know what your talking about mate, they dont need a massive donk in these small cars especially with the amount of fuel it would use even tho it could be quite exciting none the less

they didn't go away from v12s cause it was 'too loud'. ferrari moved away from v12 because it was inefficient and they had to carry more fuel. the fia tried to ban v12 to reduce power in the early 90's but ferrari at the time refused. then fia banned it after ferrari went with v10 in 1996. v6 and v12 have some displacement but the frequency in cylinders are firing are much less in a v6, therefore much lower rpm and therefore producing less power.

maybe I'm a bit biased but that's my honest rating.

@NottinghamForest22 Clearly you've never heard the engines from the 80's...

A bit short, isn't it? :P But at least it sounds better than the god awful 4 cilinder engines they wanted to introduce. Still, i'd like the v10's, or even better, the v12's return to F1. But i guess that's just a dream :(

also, theres this pistonhead's pride that motorsport fans have in cars, generally , the bigger the engine, the more 'high class' the car. Its very embarrasinng for the pinnacle of motorsports to have an engine the same size as that of a honda's. Thats why you never see supercars with less than 3L of displacement. Bigger engines generate more vroom, smoke and are more exciting. Thats the point of motorsports for entertaining the fans.

If they can come up with a way to make your 6 Litre Engine weigh up and use less fuel then a 1.5Litre V10 that only runs all cylinders at full throttle then be my guest mate

they shouldn't go to 4 cylinders tho or really 6. The rule should be for no less then eight to ten cylinders and up because thats Formula 1. People need to realize that they can still make small efficient engines with many cylinders successfully, thats half the challenge. It should be no less then eight and i think everyone (im talking in their business) can agree on that together.

they might be scrapping the rule hope that happens

however, the 2014 v6 engines are 1.6L and tubo charged. turbo's give engines serious amounts of torque. the 2014 will be totally different to the v8s of today. a totally different formula and really have nothing in common. can't really compare the two. different capacity, different ways of producing power and torque also.

Don't be surprised if the drivers adapt to the cars ASAP. There's not going to be any lag, so they won't have to anticipate unpredictable characteristics like a sudden onset of boost. All these guys will be doing is using less throttle. I'm 99% certain that the cars will need to be feathered around bends. In fact, these new rules will DEFINITELY make for a duller and much slower paced formula. Its going to be terrible.

Are these previews even REAL? Better wait till the real engine, I think.

Where did you find this video originally?

Oh yeah, lol :-)

Whats bad about V6? F1 had V6 you know.... 1,000HP Turbo...

well they wouldn't to you would they, I mean considering it is your video

They wont sound like this vid. I also think that the V10s were something out of this world. Now the freezed and rev-limited V8s sound awful. Like giants and annoying mosquitos. So anything is better than what we have now. We must accept that turbos are the way to go. Naturally aspirated engines are a thing of the past if we're talking about optimum efficiency.

Hoy, just kidding mate! ^^

Yeah, I bet your wife sounds "simular" too.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dont do this to my favorite sport.

The V8s are limited to 18,000 RPM. These V6's will be limited to 15,000. The current season exhaust regulations have banned blending exhaust gases with diffuser flow. As a result, the cars actually sound great again. Putting a turbo behind the headers will muffle the car and make it sound exactly like this, if not worse. The 2014 cars will sound like shit! Like DW-12 Chev Indy car.

no source or information available, 3 second video, not buying it

Fake. There is V12.

150th disliker! :)

100st disliker! :)

sucks. V10s were the best.
