It is essentially two V"R"8's mated at the crank. As in VW's VR6 style of motor.

My apologies, I was a little abrupt.

It is true that in print that is how it is stated. However if you watch the movies you can see that the V8's are actually VR8's (staggered cylinders at 15deg).

It's still ugly. But I guess if your speeding past at 180+ mph, you wouldn't have too much time to contemplate its ugliness...

Somehow I'm thinking that those turbos arent really that small. I think the engine is just actually that enormous! I doubt four little hair dryers could force out 1000bhp. Four big-'uns, on the other hand... (that is considering that they fire sequentially. If all four fire simultaneousely, they dont have to be very big)

I don't think it's ugly! I think it's form looks both functional and sensuous.
