The McLaren M838T is a 3.8 liter twin turbocharged V8 engine with a 90 degree bank angle and a flat plane crankshaft. Its displacement is given as 3,798.6 cubic centimeters. It was designed and developed in collaboration with the engineering firm Ricardo. The source article's lead is brief, so this entry records only the configuration, displacement, turbocharging and the Ricardo collaboration that the source states, and leaves power output, applications and further history to later depth work once more of the sources are read. Twin turbocharging, meaning two turbochargers feeding the eight cylinders, and a flat plane crankshaft are the two features the lead singles out.
