B.R.M. ( British Racing Motors ) V16. Debuted in 1949.

Looks like the pictured installation is the Mk.2 version in the P50 Formula One car ( 1952? ) belonging to Nick Mason' date=' and I recognise the sound clip too.

 

1496cc

Approx 600BHP @ 12,000 rpm

 

Unmistakeable.[/quote']

Ding, ding, ding!

*BRM V16 and Maserati V8*

Congrats to HS30-H and BayareaZT, you win ummm... major kudos?

formula one engines have a 1.7L V8 if I recall.. revs up to 20,000 RPM and idles at 8,000 RPM

-Remember that this was a v16 pulling 12000rpm in the early fifties, a 1.5L V16 DOHC(35 degree) with a two-stage centrifugal supercharger, that's simply nuts for the time. I like to jack my speaker volume up and listen to that sound clip. It's very stereo, you can hear the car "around" the track.
