Supercharged inline 8, they sound so nasty, like a 180 degree v8 almost. I love all the older indy mad scientist stuff from when racing was in its hay day

twin turbo'd and twin supercharged?  WOW

[FiveSeventyZee]

Wow indeed...I doubt its practicality/efficiency but car porn is not about either of those things haha 

 

Its one of those things that had to have been built purely as an engineering exercise...and I respect that!

Not sex you maniacs. Only transportation machines, no wildlife.

 

A part, a car, whatever leaves you with inspiration and breathless or just plain WOW.

 

POST OR REPLY MUST HAVE PICTURES.....PLEASE?

It's probably in Japan, they have innovative ways of packing cars into tight places. :lol:

Its a VW garage at their factory in Wolfsburg Germany

"spanning approximately 16 stories, two silos are used as a kind of temporary vertical parking lot at volkswagen's production facility and autostadt 

visitor attraction in wolfsburg, germany. designed by renowned international firm HENN architekten, the 48-meter tall silos are composed of glass
and galvanized steel, illuminated by night. a conveyor belt system transports finished cars directly from the adjacent manufacturing plant to the 
towers' basement. from there, they are lifted into position via mechanical arms that rotate and run along a central beam, moving vehicles in and 
out of their bays at a speed of two meters per second.

 

the facility is used to temporarily store new cars that are to be picked up in person at the autostadt customer center. indeed, an underground tunnel 
connects the two buildings, and the car rolls along an internal track to arrive first to be fitted with license plates and then to the waiting owner. 
each silo fits 400 cars at a time, tending to deliver about 600 vehicles to customers each day."
 

Japanese definitely have their cool parking stuff to though lol. You park your car on a giant lazy susan and away it goes. You come back and within a minute its back in front of you with a bunch of bows from the attendant refusing to take tips...

You know, normally I'd laugh when I see parts like wiper motor and brake booster painted, but in this case I like it.  Your attention stays on the engine, not the accessories.

that is pretty cool 

it looked scary to use if it was used by humans as there is no extra room to step out and such

The same scheme is used at the Japanese marriage hotels in Tokyo and other over developed areas.  You drive up, hand over your keys and your car rotates into the vertical elevator [don't ask where it goes from there] and slides into an elevator.  4 or more hours later, if you are still sober, you hand your receipt to the attendant, magic occurs, and your car rolls out onto the rotator.  After you get inside, the turntable aims your presumably sober driver on to the public street,  It works, why don't we look into this obviously succesful scheme?  It sure as hell beats driving around 6 blocks looking for a workable, or bagged inoperable, parking meter.
