@@xtreme814 Had this discussion a while ago. Fact is: all these (Ferrari 512 BB/BBi and the Testarossa, which was more or less the direct descendant to the BBi, 917 and some siblings, AFAIR even some flat 8) have V12 180°, not Boxers = other crankshaft layout. The only real 12cyl Boxer seems to have been the Subaru F1 engine, built by Motori Moderni (italian manufacturer), but failed. Seems like the boxer layout doesn't scale well beyond 6cyl, but can't tell in which aspect. On the other hand, all 2/4/6 flat engines (Lancia, Alfa, BMW, Citroen, Subaru, Porsche and a bunch of earlier ones) were real boxers.

4:00 I thought the idea of having two engines on the 2CV was brilliant, it's like what they do on planes, the redundancy for air safety, if one engine fails, there's another. I thought it was sensational that you have autonomy and total control over each engine individually and be able to choose the desired traction, whether front, rear or four-wheel just by operating the motorcycles. Really, the 2CV surprised me once again!

Another car that is a bit strange is the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid from the 80s. It was a concept car that aimed to combat the rising fuel prices of the 80s by being a gas/battery hybrid, the first of its kind. It was a bit unusual with its 6 wheel arrangement because an extra axle had to be added to support the enormous weight of the batteries. The engine was a 694cc 2-cylinder air cooled boxer engine producing 18 HP @ 3600 rpm, and is essentially the same engine that was used in many lawn and garden tractors at the time. It was able to deliver very good fuel economy but the technology just wasn’t there to make it realistically feasible for the market. They used lead acid batteries which are very heavy, bulky and very inefficient compared to modern lithium batteries. And as you can imagine, 18 HP is not going to win you any races but it was assisted by electric motors being a hybrid. It was too ahead of its time but is nonetheless an interesting piece of automotive history. Jay Leno has a video of the Briggs and Stratton Hybrid car.

Whenever you upload it is ALWAYS amazing

I would have mentioned the Eunos Cosmo instead of the REPU. It's the only ever production car to come with 3 doritos, and yeah, I know it's just a 13B with an extra rotor, but still. Plus, it sounds amazing and it makes very good low-end torque (296 lb/ft @ 3000rpm) because of having sequential turbos. Anyways, I really liked the list. My personal dream is to own a Passat Variant W8

When this channel uploads, it put huge smile to my face ☺️

Saying your car has a helicopter engine really is one of the weirdest flexes in history.

Not sure how accurate the Tucker movie was, but didn't seem to be his "business" sense that screwed him up, it was more the big 3 just shutting him down. He used the helicopter engine out of necessity as it was all he could find without making a complete engine from the ground up.

In the early to mid 70's the Subaru 350 was still for sale at dealers. They came in two passenger cars versions, a pick up and a van. They were powered by a Kawasaki 350cc snowmobile engine. If the engine didn't start, you could take your belt off, wrap it around the shaft pulley, and give it a good pull, just like your lawn mower. Obviously they were micro cars, but were pretty cool to own and drive (just not on a highway). I have been in a car and the van, in 1978, in Kansas I went to a junkyard for a part (for a Borgward) and the owner took me to the parts car in his yard car, a Subaru 350 pick up. (he did start it with a rope).
