Dover Motor Company

[Migo54]

With motorsports rising in popularity since after the second World War, Lewis Dover designed and raced with his own engines, usually on the podium. Seven years after his debut as a private driver, he was involved in a three car pile-up, forcing him into retirement and solely making and selling engines to race teams. Thus, the start of the Dover Motor Company in 1953.

The engines we create will now be named under this system: X.XL(Engine size in liters) X/XX(number of camshafts/ total number of valves) variation name and variable valve technology (if added)
List of variation names: Econ (low emissions and very economical), Sport (well balanced for motorsport use) Hi-power (outright power needs) Special (high output Sport engines, also is a prototype designation).
V will indicate that the specific engine has variable valve technology installed.
Fuel system type will be indicated after engine size.
Forced induction will be indicated with "spec" before the variation name.
Engine type will be indicated at the very end.
Example: 6.1L 1/16 Sport V8 and 2.0L 2/16 Special V L4

Here is a picture of our high power six liter v8, dubbed the "Special"



This is a prototype engine that is going into our concept car, and was only going to make 700 hp, until it was put on the dyno making 785 at 8000 rpm.

Here is the second version of the engine:

This version of the engine focused on making a flatter torque line, and simply being smoother and more reliable.
We also took advantage of variable valve timing and lift technology in order to keep the engine more economical at cruising speeds.
Our engineers who were at the dyno, noticed that at 5700 rpm and beyond, the engine suddenly became louder and power increased rapidly to 787 hp at 8000 rpm.

The current head engineer is a big fan of Wangan Midnight, so he decided to create a very special engine:

kudos to those who know which engine it is.
