V8 engines
May I say all V8s are 90° ? really, I haven’t heard any non-90° V8. 90° is the only configuration achieving good balance for V8. However, there are two types of crankshaft arrangements, which delivers very different characters. They are cross-plane crankshaft and flat-plane crankshaft. Most of the world’s V8s are cross-plane V8, including all American V8s and all sedans’ V8s. However, the most exotic European sports cars, including Ferrari, Lotus and TVRs, employ flat-plane V8s.
Joskus olen kuulut tästä asiasta, mutta jos jotakuta kiinnostaa niin täältä hieman enemmän selvitystä asiaan.
