Interesting pics of the Veyron Engine
That block is huge!
It has similar DV's to the ones on the Porsche turbo. Also, i recall reading somewhere that the turbos were mitsubishi (possibly a 16G, close to the one on the EVOIX)

WOW. This is one incredible piece of engineering. However, I do have one observation; For a car that has such a "cleanly engineered" look from the outside (especially the interior) the engine really looks overly busy and thrown together.

Amazing - I'd love to see a build video.

Oh man, that thing is FAR from thrown together. There is so much plumbing, so many intake and cooling needs, etc. That was the biggest thing in keeping the Veyron from launching sooner: Getting it sorted to put all that power out without overheating the thing.

The Zonda is my "it" supercar - it's perfect to me.
