Why can no other country make engines as small and efficient as America?
Didn't that thing blow up after the test or some shit?
>>15268169
did it
>>15268166
>Small
>Efficient
>American made engine
choose one.
>>15268166
Because other countries usually make engines that actually work.

Do you have a smaller more efficient engine to show the class anons
Japanese and European "Small" engines are behemoths by comparison.
>>15268470
seems to work just fine desu

>>15268562
Every engine design currently in use in modern automobiles was invented in Germany.
>>15268573
I'm not seeing a smaller more efficient engine anon
Also the Electric engine is scottish or hungarian.
>>15268573
The Wankel engine was invented in Germany, this however is not a Wankel engine, and was invented in Connecticut
You made a miniature wankel engine. Congratulations .
>>15268634
It is derived from a wankel design tho
>>15268648
It's a rotary engine sure, just a good one.
Unlike the wankel
>>15268166
I'm worried about those tiny apex baby-seals
>>15268668
It doesn't have any as far as I'm aware.
>>15268674
>no apex seals
HAH
GET READY TO REPLACE THE WHOLE fUCKING ENGINE YOU RETARDS
>>15268573
The V8 was invented by the french
>>15268720
And perfected by the Americans.
>>15268720
>>15268729
You are both retards
>>15268729
Aus does a pretty good job too.
>>15268720
V8 is nothing more than 8 otto cycle engines stuck together

Wankel was invented by Germany, Mazda were pretty the only company to give it a chance. Americans had absolutely no part in the development of the rotary.
>>15268870
As if the position of cam shafts was a new design, it's merely an improvement.
>>15268894
The X mini isn't a wankel.
>>15268894
If it was produced in Germany why do people call it a "Wankel" instead of a "Vahnkel"?
>>15269094
Because Americans cannot into German pronounciation.
>>15269097
Jeremy Clarkson called it a "Wankel" on Top Gear
>>15269104
>Because most English speakers cannot into German pronounciation.
ftfm
>>15269094
If Mazda produces them in Japan, do they call them Wankers?

>>15268887
Damn son thats a big ass engine
>>15268894
It isn't a wankel you tard
Mazda had literally no influence on the developement of the x mini

is it just me or this REALLY just one of those

too good to be true, bullshit, headline catching, detail-less "scientific" breakthroughs?

>1993 Ford Foxbody

and both made the same HP, way to go USA
>>15268658
just like in 1980 GM said that rotary engines were the future and by 1995 85% of cars on the road would have rotary engines? USA spews alot of shit
>>15269829
Push both to 400hp on the same budget and see which one lasts

>>15268166
>company builds mini engine
>it is small, so US army wants it
>it's a tiny rotary with no gaskets or emission control system, so emissions are terrible
>it's US Army, who buys it so nobody cares about emissions, they can get it anyway
>engine never makes it to civilian market because nobody ever bothered to make it pass the emission rules
>Army is okay with that because it has the best toys now.

Is he the red headed annoying one or the black guy?
>>15268166
you know
an engine weight is more than just the block/rotor
>>15268374
Yropoor/Weeb Definitions:
>Small
Strictly pertains to displacement of engine
>Efficient
Strictly pertains to horsepower in relation to displacement
American Definitions:
>Small
Pertains to overall size and weight of engine
>Efficient
Pertains to power generated in relation to fuel consumption
>>15270722
>17 seconds down the quarter mile with 700 horses
opinion discarded
>>15268887
and where in the rev range does it develop this 400hp?
Because anyone can build a 500 hp, 50 CI engine if it revs to 500,000,000 RPM.
>>15268729
best v8s are still french
>>15269829
>they actually replied
>one even mumbbled "muh torq"
kek
>>15270734
you are a retard
>>15270742
care to explain or are you sticking with your original comment?
>>15270761
because you are a retard
stop being a retard and try again
>>15270772
ok.
But tell me more as to why i'm a retard
>>15268166
Because every other country in the world is inferior
>>15270776
i wouldn't know where to start
>>15270730
>Fully dressed engine weighs less than 500 lbs
>Makes more like 800 horses with single digit boost and a stock bottom end
>Still makes 25mpg
Y u mad tho?
>>15270784
Start with the biggest reason.
>>15270794
>700hp
>17 seconds
>>15270794
*still makes 25mpg at 2000rpm in 0.7 sixth gear out of boost
>>15270796
>500,000,000 RPM.
>>15270696
That guy on the bottom can barely even talk today. He literally crushed one of his vertibrae to take that pic
>>15270806
>pushrods; not even once
>>15270804
>what is exaggeration
>>15270829
something retards with no arguments use?
>>15270802
Yes that's how overdrive gears work.
Bromaro on fire as usual
>>15270832
What was the original argument again?
>>15268374
Being so fucking retarded that you think small and efficient are mutually exclusive
>2 valve 6 liter engine
>efficient
seems legit
>>15269893
so why do you guys compare 5 year old Cobalt SS track times to 25 year old R32 GTR Skyline times?
>>15270806
Damn is this true? Fuck
>>15270915
just put in perspective how slow the r32 gtr is
>>15270737
>best v8s are still french
There's barely if any french V8 though. Definitely not in production, biggest engine french still produce probably is a 2 liter 4 cylinder. And maybe a 3 liter V6 for racing purposes.
>>15269061
>>15269230
>Not a wankel
Tell that to the patent lawyers
>>15268696
> does no research and knows nothing
> claims to know how the engine works
>>15270806
Seriously?
>retarded weebs think mazda owns the wankel design
>dont realize a german firm licensed it to them
did you really think "wankel" sounded japanese?
>>15269858
400 on a stock 5.0 block? not gonna last long
>>15271047
400hp on a stock 2.0l i4 isn't going to last long either.
>>15271062
Maybe not 400 but they make around 300 at the wheels without issues. That's around 350-360 at the crank. Probably about the same limit as the shitty 5.0
>>15271062
you are a retard
>>15271047
you are also a retard
