I know that Ford no longer has a stake in either Cosworth or Aston Martin, and this may be a bit to high tech for most of you guys, but listen to that sucker wail at 11,000 RPM's. Pretty cool that they can still make that kind of power without a bunch of hairdryers or other power adders. Feel free to delete if it is to far out there.

Cool! Definitely an F-1 sound. I kinda stopped reading of Cosworth long ago but only after they stopped building for Ford.
I did learn later that of all the 'makes' they worked with to develop engines, Ford's engineers were the most involved and most helpful over the years ( F-1 V-8 Cosworth/Ford, setting an F-1 win record no other engine will ever touch) since they had finished with the also successful DOHC 255 CID Indy car engine program. 135 F-1 wins alone IIRC and even more in Indy cars and FIA sports cars. It's called the most successful racing engine across multiple venues of all time!

Must be a real short stroke. It looks to be a 7 to 8" deck height.
