And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The item pictured is the Cosworth GMA V12 engine designed for Gordon Murray Automotive. This naturally aspirated 3.9-liter V12 engine produces 663 PS (654 horsepower) at a staggering 11,500 rpm. It is engineered to be incredibly lightweight, with a total engine weight of just 178 kg (392 lbs). The engine features titanium connecting rods and valves, along with gear-driven double overhead camshafts. This specific powerplant is utilized in the Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 and T.33 supercars.
Everything Cosworth is sweet. Had a Pinto race engine, with a Cosworth pent roof 4 valve, used, brandy new too rich for my pay grade, side draft webbers worked the best, 4-2-1 tuned header, no dyno's back then, but what power it made was super nice, screaming midrange, ton of torque out of the corners. Regret very much having to let it go, kids need stuff, but it was really great while I raced it. Learned couple years ago certain Volvo heads easily fit a pinto/Ranger bottom end, and are comporable to those early Cosworth's.
Is that really a V-12 engine?
ReplyDeleteI think it is a new engine for Gordan Murray's forthcoming GMA T.33. 4.0 liter, naturally aspirated,11k RPM, 654 HP.

About 170 hp per liter.
ReplyDeleteImpressive.
The bore and stroke of that thing must be about 3” x 2”. The stroke is prob closer to 2.5”. Pneumatic valve lifters to achieve that RPM?
