Title: Empluse V14 engine
Post by: 860 on June 04, 2012, 05:31:17 PM

I don't know if I'm the only person who looks at the Empulse and thinks the silver battery brackets look like pistons from a gas engine. 

7 "pistons" on each side is more than a V8, more than a V12, it's a V14!    ;D

I see more H-14 than V-14 : )

They also kind of remind me of all the triangle rotor-shaped decorations Mazda sprinkled over the RX-8.

I had no idea such a thing as an "H" engine even existed!  That is one crazy engine design.  Another new thing learned today!

In that configuration it would be an I-beam when viewed from the front, so I-14...
