certainly a weird motor...I wonder what the engineers thought when someone suggested building such a bizarr layout.....crude but effective
Just think the guy who designed it mate and really kudos to him , went on to design the W8, W12 , and the 4mo engine , Bentley engines etc all started at his AAA-2.8l and ABV-2.9 motors
