Best Looking Engine Bays

[VooDooXII]

I'm gonna say whatever for this one...factory and...non-factory. What do you think are the best looking engine bays.

Alfa Romeo's 3.2 liter V-6 is SEXY.

Bentley Continental GT/Flying Spur. Those little bolts have the Bentley "B" embossed in the heads.

Of course...GM's LS1/2/6/7. They all look the same, but I like the LS7's red heads.

The Ferrari 599's V12 is gorgeous...perfectly symmetrical.

Ford Mustang Mach 1...only for the shaker hood. I like the scoop.

Ford Taurus SHO. Laugh all you want...I think it looks bad-ass.

Lamborghini Diablo 6.0. I like the gold.

McLaren F1...again, the gold. That was real 24k gold...probably the reason this car cost so much. :screwy:

Pagani Zonda F. I love the car...and it's got an engine worthy of display. I love that brace.

Rolls Royce Phantom. It looks very sinister...matches the exterior well.
http://www.carbodydesign.com/archive/2006/07/07-rolls-royce-phantom-black/Rolls-Royce-Phantom-Black-engine-lg.jpg

Spyker C8...same reason. Everything on this car is a work of art. Yea, it's an Audi V8...but they prettied it up well.

I definitely like this one for the header. Saw it in person at the Varsity. :goodjob:
http://www.importatlanta.com/upload/files/366/pics/IMG_4173%20%28Medium%29.JPG

There was also an RSX block with a painted head...looked like plates of metal bolted together. I remember seeing it on here and that paint-work looked cool as shit! Post the picture if you know what I'm talking about.

[fleishelja]

mmmm, car porn lol. I wish I knew of some good pics but all I have is my hundy engine bay (not too impressive lol)

[ranj]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to VooDooXII again.

k20 bling bling + ITBs

[OTG Signs]

One of the reasons the McLaren F1 was so expensive is that the exhaust is it's crashbar for the rear.

Ah good...hah, I almost thought that I posted yours...it was a Del Sol, and I thought "Dirty Octopus" came from the way that header looked. :lmfao::doh:

Good thing I didn't mention any names.

[sleepys4]

Nice pic of that del sol. I have seen that before somewhere.

Hmmmm no BMW's?? Better then a Honda or anything else for that matter haha

[VooDooXII]

Hmmmm no BMW's?? Better then a Honda or anything else for that matter haha

If you want to split hairs...the McLaren's and the Phantom's are both BMW V12 engines. Speaking of which...I really like the 850CSi's V12.

HypnoToad...+1 for the Lotus Esprit! :goodjob:

Oh wait...I can +2 now!

Six2Six :lmfao: I can't stand how Lexus covers ALL of it up. Interesting though...plus it helps for sound-deadening.

KDM...take the cover off! Haha

[VooDooXII]

Anyone got this?

Bugatti Veyron.

cool,

^^^^Yall know that Z is the tits

[VooDooXII]

ATL86...DAMN!

I love the LS2...don't miss the eagle!

Good call on the Carrera GT.

I knew someone would post the Veyron's block. That is an impressive piece of engineering...however, I think it looks a bit plain. I bet if I saw it in person...my thoughts would change. I wonder how big they are.

[VooDooXII]

That last one is CRAZY.

The second one I like, just because it's strictly engine.

[VooDooXII]

So I think for me, a sexy engine bay has...

-Badging
-Shiny twisty headers, either chrome or discolored from heat
-ITBs! Thank you Eric for explaining what those were.
-Symmetry

[The BUCKY]

this the one your talking about? i did this one awhile back

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n89/csubucky19/viccar2.jpg

[VooDooXII]

Ah, Bucky...I thought it'd be your work, though I wasn't entirely sure.

That's the one! :goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:

[Kamikaze]

-ITBs!

http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x9/mazda_six2six/Mazda%20Meet/MazdaMeet015copy.jpg

:D

[VooDooXII]

That's from the Mazda meet isn't it? Damn, I bet that car sounded NICE.

[Kamikaze]

Yep. The only ITBs I've heard prior to these have been on Hondas. This car definitely had it's own unique sound.

[VooDooXII]

Eric (ekcivic9) showed me a video...K20 with ITBs. Sounded like a Ferrari.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=XkAFTYoyK2U

[Kamikaze]

Yeah I remember that one. That car sounds like it should be on a track somewhere.

What's up with all the pics of engine bays covered in plastic? Fuck that noise.

I don't like too much covering either.

Hah, not quite...ITBs...Individual Throttle Bodies.

Check out the video I posted.

I like when they're staggered and diagonal...like the Spyker's.

It's funny...if her name didn't have "chick" in it I am sure the responses would have been....You fucking retard! Those are ITB's don't you know anything? n00b!!!

I didn't know what they were until ekcivic told me.

Double standard exists though...

[Allstar3.8T]

I agree w/ Julio on Tim Wests ...its the blue on the chrome that just pops. Reminds me a lil of my Si in 2000-2001. Also Jeff Gs is hot for the smooth metal work, and chrome everything.

[mxglory258]

I pretty much hate everyshot in this thread with plastic over top of the motors. It's tacky, and shouldn't be there. When I open the hood of a car, I want to see MOTOR. Not fukkin plastic. I was lookin at a Zo6 at a dealership, and HATED it when I opened the hood.
