Some car engines have used desmodromic valve train systems, similar to those found in Ducati motorcycles. The desmodromic design ensures that both the opening and closing of the valves are mechanically actuated, eliminating the reliance on springs. This allows for precise timing and can enhance high-RPM performance, making it particularly appealing for racing applications. One notable example is the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 race car, which featured a desmodromic setup to maximize its performance on the track. While less common in automotive applications compared to motorcycles, the concept has intrigued engineers seeking to improve efficiency and power in high-performance engines. The benefits include reduced valve float at high speeds and better control over valve timing, leading to improved overall performance. #Desmodromic #Ducati #AlfaRomeo #EngineDesign #HighPerformance #Valvetrain #Engineering #AutomotiveTechnology

Great cat - the Jaguar XJ220S TWR! The XJ220S was the road-going version of the 'C' racing car. It featured carbon composite body panels (except for the doors). These new panels, along with the removal of non-essential components from the car, resulted in a massive weight reduction. Making the XJ220S much more agile for the track. Powering the 'S', is a Twin Turbo 3.5L V6 from which TWR squeezed almost 700 hp. This power was up from the 545 hp made by the base model, which propelled this car to not only a production car top speed record at the time, but also the production car record around The new power in the 'S', along with the weight reduction, has resulted in an improved 0-60 km/h time of 3.3 seconds and an estimated top speed of 228 mph /h. With an average speed of 180.4 km/h, the 'S' also set a lap record at the Millbrook Proving Ground at the time. Only 5 road-going examples were built, nicknamed "The Opal Fruit Cars", due to their original bright exterior colors. These are chassis 220802, 220803, 220793, 220779 and 220784. A 6th chassis was made (220810), but is not generally considered to be part of the original five examples. It was also finished in silver, which is a departure from the bright colors of the original. #jaguar #xj220 #supercar #performance #speed #uk #Anis_Maaouia

Vintage photo of the Jaguar XJ220S TWR! The XJ220S was the road-going version of the 'C' racecar. Sporting a Twin Turbo 3.5L V6 that TWR squeezed 690hp out of at the time. This power was up from the 545hp that the base model made, which was still good for not only a production car top speed record, but a production car record around the Nurburgring. The 'S' featured carbon composite body panels (excluding the doors). These new panels, along with the removal of nonessential components of the car, provided a massive reduction in weight. This resulted in an improved 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and an estimated top speed of 228mph. With an average speed of 180.4mph, the 'S' set a lap record at the Millbrook Proving Ground at the time.

Falken has you covered this summer…😎 The annual tyre tests conducted by trade journals are highly anticipated. The first results of this year's summer tyre test are now available… AutoBild tested 55 candidates with the size 205/55 R 16 V, which is suitable for a wide range of compact cars such as the VW Golf and the Opel Astra. The Falken ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun stood out with an excellent price/performance ratio and achieved many other feats as well. In summary, the experienced testers found the ZIEX ZE310 Ecorun has good safety reserves in aquaplaning, short dry braking distances, and dynamic performance during dry handling.💪👍 Order yours today…📞🤙 01380 725955 Info@checkpointdevizes.co.uk https://lnkd.in/e-3-yMfB #tyres #exhausts #wheelalignment #batteries #brakes #repair #replacement #mechanic #checkpointtyres #Devizes #Wiltshire #tyrefacts #motorbikes #moto #motorbiketyres #wiltshiremotorbikes #ridesafe #motorbiketyres #bikes #livetoride
