Woohoo nobody posted the ones I wanted to!
BMW V12 used in the McLaren F1:
Menard V8 used in the Caparo T1 (GM LSx-based IIRC):
...and one of my favorites, the TT V8 used in the McLaren MP4-12C:

Had to add my own. '88 Fiero Formula. One of the few times GM tried to make a motor look cool. The TPI series of V8's is nice too.

If they had taken all the money for gold plating and put it into more performance stuff...

there is always the ultimate Lancia Delta engine.
That's a 4 cylinder.. check out the position of the intake and exhaust mounted turbos

Was that hp measured before or after the plating? What would it look like after only one run....Yeah, I know, it's a show/look-what-this-shop-can-do car--not that there's anything wrong with that. Publicity is publicity; all the better if it's free.

I'd love to see a cut-away or diagrams of the engine, esp the head.

I agree that its a remarkable engine. In 1920, materials and engine design were in their infancy, so if you were to build a race engine, its bound to be sturdy and overbuilt. Hence the head/ block cast as one piece. One less spot for failure. Make the crank as sturdy as possible, and then as metallurgy develops over the next few decades, either remove material or boost the ever lovin crap out of it.

I can't figure out how that Lancia engine works. And it looks like that Ferrari V12 has a redundant ignition system.
