The roller rockers on the V8 are insane!

That'ssss no V8.... (said in a Sir Alec Guiness voice when he sees the Death Star for the first time).  But, yes... those roller rockers are pretty darned cool, despite the complex geometry to make them actuate.

 

I especially like the 3rd picture of the Batmobile with a Volvo tire wagon sporting Motorsport stickers all over it...

What am I missing, I count 8 ITB's sitting on the top of that beast...

I'm no expert but, one ITB per intake valve. Look at the head, 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves...

 

look at the first pic of the motor assembled

BmW Diametral (early F2 motor), some interesting pics and info in the link above.  Try getting parts for one of those.  Guessing few made to begin with and even fewer survivors and of those not many outside the BmW factory.

Nice link, Mark.  Impressive engineering involved here, no doubt; I'll have to show this to the old man.

 

Power #s are equally impressive...

 

"This design was developed by Ludwig Apfelbeck and results in a better filling of the combustion chamber. This results in an engine output of 140hp per litre with 8(!) single carburetors or 150-160hp with fuel injection.
The injection lines are fed by a mechanical Kugelfisher pump and the four lines are splitted by y-pieces to the 8 intake cones. "

Thanks MarkMac, that link explains it! Awesome engineering...
