Thank you to everyone who DM'd me asking for progress on finding the car, we got there in the end! Stay tuned for the first drive further down the line.

@Si Raff yes was still ahead of the game at the time with some idea's but due to lack of funding being a small British car company didn't go anywhere really, some great ideas on that V10, like shutting down one bank of cylinders for economy , regen braking , regen motor used for starter , and the Hybrid was supercharged to

@Gary 'Man' 15 years early or this would have taken off in a big way.

@Aleksandr Halas Actually i was thinking more a Dodge Hellcat

It's beautiful

Love the channel, you could of found a better presenter though guys a bit of a shmuck.

I sold my ears and brought bitcoin!

I wish I had enough resources to let this man finish his dream.

What a sin,that is one beauty of a machine

I wanna see the car driving

Lancia is pronounced "Lan-cha" in English. It's like mispronouncing "Por-sha". It annoys me.

They're also mispronouncing connaught. Connaught is pronounced like Con-ockt. Its a province here in Ireland consisting of 5 counties.

Now THAT is a car to bring back! Idk how to appeal to investors, but, if i was one, id put that car into production immediately...it's so rare to see a one-off car that is so perfect and beautiful 😍

Very cool

A baby V16 BRM,,,

"Making it a VR10 engne" Labels the video as a V10

What a lovely bloke

Can I buy it?

Mad props for the Sopwith shirt chap.

Doesn't look like it uses a "Headgasket" per se i'm assuming it uses silicon sealant around the flat surfaces then on the cylinders it probably uses a copper ring.... something like this if produced could become quite the kit engine, i can imagine getting in bed with a casting company and seeing as they are already machinists they could probably pump these out for a few grand each in kit barebones form (No ecu or anything) just the engine block and head... i'd love to throw one of these into my mustang! 2.0 V10.... i bet supercharged that would make some lovely noises.

Came here to see & hear supercharged mini v10. Instead got an Awkward interview & a bare engine block. 💩

engine specialist at jlr does not bring one a lot of confidence

When I saw the picture in your thumbnail, I saw a VW Golf Mk3 or 4.

The back of this car is hideous

Nice 👍

Imagine if every person that contributed to the (currently) 31,000 likes, kicked-in at least say....$5 towards this goal.

What's its redline?

You are looking at serious brains. Brilliant.

Want one 👍

Geez, the owner was genuinely interesting and definitely proud. Less turtlewax and more of him!

Got Camaro vibes from the front

It's awesome you helped to bring this back to light.

Move! Passing through! Sorry for the drooing.

Instead of more V10s, how about a flat-10?

Without all the gears and fueled by alcohol it really gets interesting.

I think this engine would work on cars like BMW m1/ Mercedes A amg. .BMW had the e60m5 who had a V10 now they could Have his nephiew

Bro this would make a killing in Australia

Wish me luck, fellow admirers, with my projects, please, so I can bring this back. Amazing ingenuity! My respect for both the video and the Connaught project.

Start the car!

And there is the people building a 4.0 liter Flat 20 cylinder engine based on the V-10.

@Covert Garage I personally believe in a past life they designed and built aircraft engines for Napier.

"Very 2004 inside". Really? Just looks like a kit car from the 80s inside. That engine though. Amazing. Take that and just make a new car. The existing one looks like a Simca 😂

mom can i get a v10? no we have one at home

Front end reminds me of a deformed 2010 Camaro and rear tail lights look like Smart Roadster headlights

What a shame, barely any information about the engine other than its size, is all the other stuff a secret or something.... 🤔

They should make engine kits for those wanting to do engine swaps.

I wonder what Buckminster Fuller would say about this

Gotta love listening to a history-making engineer who looks like a farmer/mechanic

Its like a vr10 and the front looks like a mini camaro

front clip looks like a chevy camaro. how is it a super car? why didn't u ssk how the hybrid is set up?

Not a huge fan of the front end look, but it seems like a car ahead of its time sadly. Hope it gets the funding and expertise needed to make it viable.

I remember seeing this on the carpet in their office foyer in Dafen, Llanelli. I was amazed I'd not heard of it at the time!

@3:55-3:59 instant thumbs-up ;}

What if such an engine would be mounted in a Morgan....

I want one!!!

Wow i didnt know the existence of such a car!! such engines could also be used in superbikes!!

2 big ol dents in the front left wing near the door. Im willing to bet, they would total the car at an american insurer

Horsepower?

Only me that se s liten camaro in the front

v10 swapped miata?

Why not turn on car

It looks like a BeamNG Automation car.

A Super Rare Car indeed! Squarishly Handsome! Love It! 🕯🌷🕊

It looks like a camaro

I NEED to know more about this engine and its hybrid system. Because it makes zero sense to me. Everyone else has been using fewer and fewer cylinders for years because it increases fuel economy through less frictional resistance. But this guy's like "Moar cylinders!!" Also what the heck does not idling have to do with having ten cylinders?? If he'd have said "I want it to run really, really low revs" then more cylinders would make sense, but not the other way round. This car makes no sense and I'm intrigued.

I want to see the 2022 version of this company 👍

Beautiful engine like wow gorgeous! Wonderful design work and top notch engine builder!!

sounds like an aircraft radial engine!

enjoyed this video Mike, keep them coming

He should take it to SEMA or a similar event to see the reactions it would get.

Artisanal carmakers rarely get much attention they deserve. They have great ideas that don't always get well with major and larger car manufacturers. Of course, being small companies also meant that getting short on money and no significant fundings are common sad stories for many of them.

This car should be ported in too a driving game like forza or something so people all over the world can see it and get too love it

It's sad to see the developer's dream die - Unfortunately it was too little, too late and not enough money......That's business. Similarly, there's another new(ish) car company who are on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, but the outcome will be the same. Interesting times - Keep safe and well.

I would buy one. If there is one for sale...I will buy it.

I hate bald young guy.........hahaha no hard feeling, you also sounds like a non a real British guy.....where u from actually....sorry lads....hohoho🤪🤪🤪

I really like this car. Even the exterior styling is spot on.

Definitely looks more like brushed aluminum than stainless steel in the interior.

Too bad no test drive

They should have made a donation page for them

The front of the car looks like if a Camaro was on acid but also angry for some reason Massive headlights but an angry grill

If I'm right, there's a 20 odd cars to be build, any millionaires that can buy sum for 500k?

ide like to know how they seal those cylinders.... the vr has canted top pistons and the liners are flat as the deck.....

I'd like a motorcycle with that engine.

Prius a hideous car, the car that started it all and made Toyota the biggest car manufacturer in the world and billions of money, typical Brit. The last thing they made that made a difference was the radar, brilliant invention though, but a long time ago

Why is it named after an Irish Province? Would love to know. By the wat it's pronounced Konnoct

Camaro mx5?

Just looking at it, I'm impressed 👍😎

What was behind that door at the end?

Sounded like a Viper.

Why did the front end remind me of a Camaro.

Aspiration: V10 2.0 Business Sense: not a great Idea

nice looking car,,, very interesting

The front looks a bit like a Camaro

Engine type V10, 22,5° narrow angle, 4 valves/ cylinder, DOHC, twin scroll inter Displacement 2.0 l (122 ci) Power 304 ps (300 bhp / 224 kw) Torque 371 Nm (274 lb-ft) Power / liter 152 ps (150 hp)

similar performance to nissan 350z 2006 engine. almost... The VQ35DE rated at 287 bhp (291 PS; 214 kW) and 274 lb⋅ft (371 N⋅m) of torque

The Prius was not the only hybrid available at that time in NA, EU, remember the first gen. Honda Insight... which is a fantastic car...

DUDE! I just hit SUBSCRIBE and that BELL! You better show us all the series about this! YOU BETTER!

if you lay this engine flat you"d have a great basis for a 2 row city car with a transverse mid engine v10 under the rear seats

so sad when he said they run out of money, seems to be a nice guy, i got curious, even i think there is many things to say at least. that car is running? why 10 not 8 why 2 liters (rpm maybe but) is not much more metal to have many cilinders? how the hybrid system will work? seems a long package...

What a thing of beauty.

The right idea at the wrong time. Hopefully this time it all comes together!
