The inside of an Enzo Ferrari engine: no chain, no belt.

Great looking. I'd love to have a belt-free car engine, how can one ever trust that flimsy rubber band to keep one from sudden engine destruction  *smile*. I've seen 3 friends' car gone bang having 'forgotten' belt service intervals (to save money lol).

My previous van (MB Vito King-of-Rust), used enclosed twin chain running in oil, that actually felt very good, very unlikely to break but not failsafe > some tensioner (spring) failure = instant disaster.

Very expensive and very noisy. Its lucky the exhaust and induction noise is insane as otherwise the mechanical clatter would be deafening! Then you've got the 16 pistons slapping away and the 64 valves all hammering themselves into oblivion...I don't know what people see in these Fiats sorry Ferraris!
