Video: Seven Marine uses Cadillac CTS-V engines in outboard motors
Filed under: Etc., Videos, Cadillac, Off-Road
Seven Marine 557 - Click above to watch the video after the jump
In case anyone was accusing supercharged, the 556-horsepower LSA V8 that powers the Cadillac CTS-V of lacking versatility, refer to this video and stand corrected. Custom boatbuilder Seven Marine has taken the enormously powerful engines and adapted them to a marine outboard application.
According to Seven Marine, its 557 is the most powerful outboard ever made. The grunt is channeled to the water through an electronically-controlled ZF transmission. The Seven Marine 557 is also the first outboard ever to be joystick-controlled.
According to Seven, it can be hung as a single-engine setup on a 25 to 27-foot boat, or in a double, triple or quad setup on boats ranging up to 55 feet. Seven Marine claims the engine should be good for a 10-20 percent efficiency and performance increase over standard onboard engines because it requires fewer gear sets to operate, which means less drag. You can check the CTS-V-powered marine setup in the video after the jump.

Whitmarsh: Don’t write McLaren off yet

Jenson Button said earlier this week that he thinks McLaren cannot challenge Red Bull Racing and Ferrari at the start of the season, while Lewis Hamilton thinks the MP4-26 is not a title-winner in its current guise

IndyCar sets 26-car grid limit
IndyCar Series grids will be limited to 26 cars at every event except the Indianapolis 500 and the Las Vegas finale this year. The first 24 places in the starting line-up at the capped events will be set on qualifying pace, with another two 'provisionals' set aside initially for recent champions, then drivers in the top 22 in points before practice and qualifying times are considered. IndyCar entries have only occasionally exceeded 26 cars per race in recent years, but with slightly larger fields expected for some rounds this season, the series' competition chief Brian Barnhart said the time was right to set a limit.
