Cosworth revives DFV
Manufacturering to resume [26/02/04 - 08:02]
1 engine-supplier Cosworth Racing is to resume manufacture of the DFV V8.
Conceived by Keith Duckworth in 1966, the DFV was the most successful engine in the history of F1 and will be produced again to service classic GP events.
Cylinder blocks, heads and sumps are to be available from early summer.
The DFV was lauded for its low weight, power, driveability - and affordability.
WON FIRST GRAND PRIX
It's F1 debut was in a 1967 Lotus and, there in Holland, promptly won its first of 154 career grands prix and would later be used for Indy and Champ Cars.
DFV stands for 'Double Four Valve' and is experiencing a renewed lease of life in classic events such as the Thoroughbred GP series, according to a statement.
* Former GP winner Jean Alesi is scheduled to turn laps at Bahrain's new circuit late next month in the 'Silberpfel', originally driven by Juan Fangio in 1955.

That's my old idea! I thought about this after Keke Rosberg won the last non-turbo F1 title . . . Would be a great idea to go on with the production (or revise worn out race blocks) for use in road CanAms, Kitcars, small company GTs etc. And now its reality? Wonder who will pick this one up. Will do great in the aussie Elfin . . . . specs?
