The madmobile keeps getting away with it 50 YEARS later, how can Ferrari even compete...

The F12 TdF is probably the last Ferrari that will ever sport a V12.

"Is this the last V12?" is a phrase thats been in circulation for a decade now

They're gonna be here in some shape or form in the future

GM LITERALLY BTFO!!!

>mfw they tought they had a chance

Tfw got a V6 Mustang
Tfw V6 is the future

>ford won lemans with massive restrictions
kek

Not your V6 friend.

Now all you need is a GT and you're all set.

All I need is to ECOBOOST it.

have you went over 20 shitposts threads already user?

Sage and report, don't bother to argue the shitposters.

>gm fangirls this assmad
BTFO BY A FUCKING V6!!!

No, they won't. Lemans officials keep downsizing engines. They're only going to get smallee.

>V6

Dude.. really? My fucking 32y old volvo has a v6.

Jesus, I'm sorry. You should have went for the i4.

GM will just need to build a car to the new rules, and not update the old cars.

the ford ecoboost sounded like a fart can honda going down the track

It definitely had a high pitch whine, but definitely not like a Honda.

Nissan didn't even show up in the GT class

Ford>Ferrari
Chevy>Nissan
Murrica

suck it europoors

GTE is for cucks m8

that would be nice had not been for the fact that porsche won the 2016 24H of lemans

>v8
But I thought Nissan V6 was superior?

nissan makes the best v8s and v6s

however the ecoboost is good too

>nissan makes the best v8s

yeah, thats why LMP2 is dominated by [Insert whatever shitbrand you like]

Nissan had 22 cars in LMP2, they better have

It's because they are cheaper than the others user.

>excuses

Bullshit. Other people had 22 cars in LMP2.

>LMP2

List of Nissan Le Mans overall victories:

List of Nissan F1 victories:

I don't care if it's a factory team or not, it's still the same Nissan. they made up more than 1/3 of the field in a 3 class race.

>dmg cntrl

neither Formula one or LMP1 use production based engines, so basically irrelevant to the discussion of production engines

you could literally pull a VK from a Nissan and make your own LMP2 winning engine

The fuck it is. Those were cars with their own chassis' and they used Nissan engines.

thats because no one else can compete

how is that Nissan's fault?

You know we could apply the same logic to the DFV right?

It's been in circulation because of future standards that have been known for a decade. That's why this one is most likely the last outside of incredibly small run hypercars.

wat

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosworth_DFV#Major_successes

DFV is pretty much the most successful racing engine of all time.

>reading comprehension
Do all of those successes translate to Ford F1 wins?

Downsizing the engine or engine displacement?

Were you born retarded or are you just pretending today?

displacement. cheese eating surrender monkeys put the displacement at 4 litres max. and the ecoboost v6 is a 4 litre.
nissan now partially owned by renault. viva le france motherfucker!

It's actually 3.5L but shrug.

>and the ecoboost v6 is a 4 litre.
3.5l actually.

Put that way, you could pull a J32 out of a TSX and make a P2 car too. You just need a custom rotating assembly, dual cam heads, dry sump. The block can stay.

Displacement. If Ferrari makes a v12 that is under 5.5 liters they can use it. If they make it under 4 liters the can turbo or supercharge it. Problem is that their efficiency will be shit which is why all the manufactures are switching to turbos or low displacement cars.

bump

>There will never be a GT with the aussie Ford 4 litre inline 6 turbo engine

>next fifty years
No, they're actually BTFO forever. Racing with gasoline engines probably won't exist in 50 years. Racing itself will be a niche sport by then. Ferrari literally got BTFO on their last chance to beat Ford.

USA > Italy for the next 50 years

That's not much of an achievement desu. Italy has been shit for the last 1000 years.

I can see in the near future Le Mans cars running with an I4 1.5 liter turbocharged

Have you looked up the combustion engines used in the LMP1 cars?

bump

GM thought they could rest on their laurels after last years win. Instead they slammed into a wall. Total reversal of last time. Much work needs to be done for next year.

At least they aren't Toyota.

toyota finished second in class, GM finished last

They didn't DQ it for the shenanigans with the last lap? Also did they ever say what caused it to explode?

>doesn't know each lmp1 team had two cars

pls lurk more

I thought Kobayashi's spaz had taken them down to fourth

my understanding of the EU standards, and most importantly how they are applied and can be bent, leads me to believe that as long as it's a part of FCA, Ferrari can keep making V12 cars, or for that matter pretty much any cars they like.
