Like the Veyron, the limited-production Cizeta (née Cizeta-Moroder) V16T supercar is defined by its engine. The 560-hp, 6.0-liter V-16 in the Ciz’s belly isn’t a true V-16. If you go by firing order and construction, it’s merely two flat-plane V-8s sharing a single block and joined by a central timing case. This makes it no less insane. Because the engine is mounted transversely, a central shaft feeds power into a rear-mounted transaxle. The Cizetas are rarer than honest politicians, with just a tiny number built. The true production number is a secret, of course, but one of them occasionally surfaced in L.A., where its owner revved it mercilessly prior to customs officials seizing it in 2009.
