For example, a V8 Bi-Turbo G63 AMG has 577 BHP and a Twin-Turbo V8 Koeniggsegg has 1160 BHP. How do virtually the same engines have such a large discrepancy?
In: Engineering
Well, they’re not remotely virtually the same. V means the shape of the pistons is V-shaped. 8 because there are 8 pistons/cylinders. Other than that, they’re completely different engines. The Koeniggsegg engine is larger, 5.0L versus 4.0L. The Koeniggsegg engine revs up to 8,500rpm while the AMG engine only revs to 6,000rpm.
Basically the engines are completely different except their general shape and number of pistons.
