BMW 4291eli


BMW Designs A 42-Wheel, 19-Engine Car To Fulfill One Child's Fantasy

the email by ELI uncle is 

Last night my 4-year-old Jalop of a nephew Eli and I had a serious conversation about the car he wants to build. I know there are a lot of talented artists out there in the Jalopnik commentariat, and I would like to ask them all if they would consider drawing up their "Artist's Conception" of the car according to the carefully considered specifications he came up with. I would just love to give him a tangible expression of what his awesome imagination came up with. If anyone is particularly ambitious, I have access to a 3D printer so if someone puts together a solid .stl I could even print it for him (and a copy for whoever puts it together).
So here are the specs he came up with, with surprisingly little input from myself:
- It's a BMW
- 42 wheels, and of course 42-wheel drive
- It is powered by 19 Porsche engines, each producing 459 horsepower. I think they will need to be water-cooled turbocharged boxer 6s. This was entirely his own idea, but I commended his choice of using boxer engines for a multi-engine setup since they will stack so well.
- The engines are all linked to a single transmission. He didn't specify, but I think viscous couplings for the inputs would probably be a good idea.
- Power output is subdivided to all those wheels via a series of limited-slip differentials
- There are seats and three steering wheels, and all three can drive the car at the same time.
- The trunk is full of toys and you can play in it


Little did four-year old Eli know that when he fantasized about his dream car to his uncle, that BMW would not only listen, but pen a vehicle just for him. The heart-warming tale began last week at auto enthusiast website Jalopnik, when a reader asked if design-savvy posters woulddraw up a dream car for his budding enthusiast nephew.
It couldn’t just be any race car—the Bavarian high-performance machine had to have 19 Porsche boxer engines, 42 wheels, three steering wheels being controlled simultaneously by three drivers, and most importantly, a trunk for toys.
Here's how he approached it. he divided the flat-six engines into three main banks: one of nine, forming the spine of the car, mounted low, to keep the center of gravity low and then two side pods of five engines each. A Y-shaped transmission unit would be mounted at the rear to combine all the engine power to send to all 42 wheels. cooling radiators are in the large ducted areas on either side of the car.
The 42 wheels are divided into four 40-wheel units, and two steering wheels up front. For, you know, handling. He think this car would likely demand at least two lanes or so on a road, so be advised. Luckily, the din of 19 flat-sixes should be enough to make everyone clear out.

8 Unknow Unique Features In Latest Cars

Brands today strive to stand out from the competition by introducing some of the most unique and unusual features. This trend is driven by the desire to capture consumer attention and differentiate themselves in a crowded market. Here are some of the most distinctive and quirky features brands have introduced    1. Digital Matrix LED lighting Audi is said to be equipped with Digital Matrix LED lighting. Projector lights make use of 1.3 million micromirrors to aim light output more accurately. A projector headlight can modify the position of the light beam, and this is done 5,000 times per second. This specific ability makes moving the light source the solution for the problem of creating a visual ‘light carpet’ where the driver’s lane is illuminated without impairing other traffic. In addition, when the car is started or finished the headlights can display the Audi logo or other illustrations, improving the appearance of the automobile. 2. california mode With the push of just...
