SimplePlanes Car Engine Mystery

71 DaCapiBoii  3.6 years ago

People were wondering what kind of Engine the current SP Car Engine is. From a post from 4 years ago in the comments people thought its a Electric engine because of its Performance and no gears. But it uses Fuel. I found out what Engine type it is. It is actually based off a U Engine. Its 2 Inline engines stuck togehter. 2 seperate Camshafts and both sides have 4 cylinders in the Game. In Real Life there is the Bugatti U16 Engine which is a Plane Engine. This explains the lack of gears and fuel usage.

    @Kittyhawk909 not exactly. It has 8 Cylinders. A Dual Overhead Camshaft on a i4 doesnt give it extra cylinders. And it doesnt have VVT. Its a U Layout Engine which is a Plane Engine. The only real life Engine that actually confirms this is the Bugatti U16 Engine. Same Engine just double the Cylinders. I have no idea what gave you the idea of it being a Inline 4 but i recommend counting those Cylinders again. U Engines are 2 Inlines stuck togehter with invidual Camshaft and Crankshaft.

    Dual overhead camshaft i4 24 valve 2.5 liter engine linked to a Countinuosly variable transmission. It's power range suggests it has varible valve and cam timing.

    its an interesting car engine as it sounds a bit like a V8. devs should add more car engines with their own sound effects rather than using the current sound. and the devs should also add a start engine / kill engine switch for cars and planes as well.

    @AN2Felllla yeah bruh don't you know that ejecting the exhaust into the crank case gets you 10 extra horsepower?
