This X20 engine is two V10s stuck together!

What happens when you take two V10 engines, gear them together and slap a Lamborghini gearbox on the other side? Well, you end up with an X20 engine, like this one built by the guys at Villiers for a Connaught supercar!

Interesting in that it is the first X20. But no mention of the Rolls-Royce Vulture X24 that first ran in 1937.

Why not mount another v10 on top while you're at it

I’d love to hear this thing start up

f**k electric cars ! Give me one of these !!! Carry on guys !

Have they considered a piston valve engine my farther designed one the drawings still exists ?

Villiers? As in the guys who built lawnmower engines that we used for mini bikes in the 70’s? Amazing!

Koenigsegg 3 cylinder, 2 litre . . 600hp!

Need to talk to the tractor-pull guys about putting engines together. This is just two engines, not one. Doesn't hold up to a VR6, W12, or W16.

The horsepower prediction is trash 400 hp? Really why so little? Not worth the time and energy

Dubsy Dubs преди 11 дни

I thought the department of transport doesn't allow 2 crankshafts in a car, has that been changed?

Phil Johnson преди 11 дни

Wow! That could be the dumbest engine ever.... Until the X30?

Make them ..come here in south africa and show them the x20 We will love it And I hope its cheap

Laurean 599 преди 14 дни

Why does it make only 400hp? The entire point of small capacity cylinders is to have lighter pistons and lower piston speeds so you can rev higher, it should easily rev over 10.000 and there is no excuse for this thing to make less than 800hp.

Laurean 599 преди 14 дни

I want to see the crankshaft/rods on this thing, fitting 20 rods on to a crankshaft without master/slaverods or something similar must mean very narrow bearings

I was confused at first lol, I was like V10? you mean someone strapped two missiles together? Oh, you mean valves.

ANON 4 преди 20 дни

Wait so an X 20 with ONLY 400 bhp?! Doesn't make sense

TheOther RayJ преди 21 ден

It would make for a great inboard marine engine

Pete преди 24 дни

I thought they were going to say it was like 1800 hp

Beefalo Bart преди 24 дни

For sure still stuck with one question, WHY? There is no logical reason to spend that much time and money on the output levels vs economy.

Kirsty Sinclair преди 26 дни

400hp from that boat anchor is not near enough to make it viable .

Michigan Cur преди 26 дни

Forget a bike or three wheeler, I'd take that triple on my snowmobile

This makes the W18 engine look like nothing!

Impressive Most important Can it fit my Honda?

magnetmannenbannanen преди 29 дни

lol and weld turbos to it, like 4 turbines. i do not volenteeer to do the welding job :)

Noah Klinger преди 29 дни

you can get any american V8, and make over 400 HP and probably save on gas aswell.

Ozark prepper преди месец

Looks like it's all aluminum. Curious what the engine weight alone is. With it being opposed my brain went to putting it in my airplane. LOL But for that size and weight it would definitely have to have large boost or too nice superchargers! Perhaps a boat?

So a single v8 from koeningsegg makes around 1,400bhp. 2 v10s can make 40 Err

Holzwurm _HD преди месец

... That could fit in a Subaru...

Klayx преди месец

So underwhelming. I though it was gonna make at least 1200hp

MrFlazz99 преди месец

40mpg from a 2-litre V10? Yeah right - a miracle of internal friction reduction - but these engines are a triumph of fun over function and I'm sure they have fun building them.

Wor Jackie преди месец

How many of you are comparing an experimental engine, from an engineering company that very few people have ever heard of, to well known car manufacturers that have been producing cars for decades and spend millions in r&d on one single engine. 🤦‍♂️

I need a supercharged version right now..

Well this is new to me. And as a guy with a VRT fetish. This is awesome!

Funny thing you mentioned that they could put that 6 cyl in a motorcycle... What about that motorycle on background? they already have one in a bike... :D

Weaponised Potato преди месец

An X20 with 400hp? Ok, what am I missing? A mildly worked k20 surpasses this easily. I get that they do it because they can etc etc.

D4RKHOUND преди 6 дни

True it can... but the fact the parts are smaller and theres more of them means the "Load" is spread out more so not only will the car be smoother, it will also be potentially more reliable however it comes with a tradeoff that if something goes wrong it's going to be much more severe... 100hp in each cylinder will have alot more "Stress" in a 400hp 4 cyl motor than 20hp per cylinder in a 20 cylinder motor.

I guess I will design the VW30

I want these guys to make a 24 cylinder engine and mate it to a 7 speed transmission just so they can call it the '24/7'

GoreTV преди месец

Fantastic!

DevilsAvocado преди месец

I just wish they would stop calling the VR10 "V10"

Johny Titor преди месец

Overengineering the combustion engine really... Thankfully we can move forward with electric vehicles, since batteries are just starting to catch up since the Porsche P1 in 1898 (I am exaggerating a bit but it captures how slow batteries are progressing)

? Mystery Guy ? преди месец

There are no v10 engines but vr10 engines. The VR form was developed and used by Volkswagen several years ago.

Zachary Babb преди месец

All those cylinders for Mustang-level horsepower

S L преди месец

It's great but I'm willing to bet they will never put this in a vehicle.

This is absolutely in every way my dream job.

Are you sure it is not 80 valves?

Zachary Whitney преди месец

Can we talk about that v6 cafe bike in the background..?

frogs преди месец

When you start getting to this size of cylinders the mass outweighs the bhp gain. They figured this out in the 1930s. It's better using turbos like v8 twin-turbo or v10 twin etc. Unless you're just after torque, which is useless above 1000 pounds-feet in a conventional 2 wheel drive sports car.

I mean it is super innovative but 400hp out of 20 cylinders? You dont need a transmission out of a Lamborghini to handle that.

So... what does a V10 and the appropriate transmission cost?

cool, but not worth the $, a Suzuki Hayabusa is a 1.3L 4 cyl with 197 HP, take 2 of them V8 2.6L 384 HP NA. it's there $ but how do you fix this engine in 10 years from now?

pretty dumb

guitarwi3rdo преди месец

I canNOT wait to hear what that x20 sounds like. Really looking forward to the first start

So its just adding excessive complications, size, and costs to get what a small V8 already does in many production cars?

I love this engine but only 440 break hp. Not much considering this is two v10s mated together.

As a R32 owner, the fact there's other Vr engines on the way makes me very happy. The exhaust note makes us R(v6 R owners not the 4 bangers) owners hard as morning. Hopefully we can buy these globally. Keep grinding guys love the ambition, make a go fund me!

120 out of a v6? Try again

Why not a x 24 and take advantage of 6 cylinder primary balance. Also, two cranks is just a terrible compromise but I guess there's not enough length on a single crank for 20 con rods.

So 400hp from 20 cylinders.... mercedes a45 engine makes 435 from 4 cylinders

Um my zx-14 makes 200 hp with 600 less cc's and 6 less cylinders. So what's the point of making more complicated engines make less hp?

X20 engine: 2 V10 engines, smashed together, complicated gearing system, manual transmission; 400bhp. Ford "Eco-Boost": 1 V6, DCT, 610(b?)hp. But, the X20 is waaaaaay cooler.

its a joke.

After x20, and after v12... they could go crazy going with x24... or combine a pair of vr6 to make a very unique and potent w12

I bet that will be super-easy to fix when something breaks. You: It's a bespoke 400hp 4 Litre X-20 forty valve with a magic bellhousing. What your mechanic hears: NOPE NUP NOOOOO NO WAY NO HOW NOPE. Although I suppose if you can afford the car that this engine's going into, you just have your man take care of it for you.
