The world’s most powerful car, the Bugatti Veyron, is powered by two V8 engines joined together to form a W16 formation, of course four turbo-chargers and ten radiators also come along for the ride. But just how exactly do they make such an engine?

The video above shows a “Matsuura MAM72-42V 5 axis CNC” machine carving up the W16 engine block mm by mm.

If you watch it all the way through, you will see the cylinders appearing while the whole thing eventually resembles the W16 engine we’ve all come to love and respect.

Who ever posted this up is a fool. That video is a demo. The lump of aluminium is not much bigger than the palm of your hand lol

Also. The w16 is NOT two v8 engines bolted together – common misconception. Its a v configuration with two rows of pistons in each bank.

Also….as with all engine crankcases, it is cast and not machined from a big lump of material lol
