Let's stay with the facts. We understand this is a 1917 Renault V8 MOTOR N° 68238 -Renault 80HP - V8 Aero, water cooled, double magneto ignition, twin overhead cam. This V8 is already a development of the much earlier in 1907 presented aero V8 by Renault. The 1917 example on display here was mounted in a Dorand AR1 Farman; click here for another perspective of the same engine or go here to compare with an almost 90 years younger and 200 times stronger great-grand-grand son V8. The old 8-thumber is now available through Punto Classico in Argentina.
