This Quiz Will Prove How Much You Really Know About Cars
Sure, you have an encyclopedic knowledge of Top Gear episodes, but do you really know anything about the engineering behind the cars you know and love?
I knew that one because I rembered how the Veyron wheels are really large, but rally cars have downsized rims for acceleration.
90%, the V8 firing order caught me out :(
Me too, I messed up between flat-plane and cross-plane.
The reason the firing order isn’t 1234 is to help distribute the stress along the crank shaft. Different engines have location of the cylinder number because of how the manufacter numbers them. For example v8 and v6 is halfed. Sometimes one head is 1-4 and other times they can be odd or even. Then think of where the stress is on every fire. You want to distribute the stress on the crankshaft evenly from front to back. I could give more detail but I hope you understand.
9/10, 2ez ;)
Had to think about the exhaust one. It made me tired. Now I’m exhausted…
Oh blow it out your tailpipe!
The exhaust manifold one was easy. Congrats about getting all of them correct though

Good
6/10
I’m a disgrace :’(
5/10! 😭😭
Ok
9/10!!!!
10/10.
This was an easy one.
I’d like to appeal this decision.
In reference to gearing, this is correct.
