V8s only started this year, and renault was reportly doing dyno runs on the V8s only in mid 2005 at least, hence the engine is most likely a 2004 V10 unit. plus, V8s revs to at least 19000rpm. from the side angle, there are 4 obvious trumpets, but the 'leftest' trumpet is hidden by the shadow, although the injector is still visible. F1 engines , any race engines as a matter of fact, have air filters. for something breathing 650 litres of air a second, u better have the best filters u can afford! model code is RS24, hence its a 2004 model.

RS24 car model means its a 2004 car, which means its a V10. renault only started dyno-ing their V8s in mid 2005 i think, plus V8s run to 19000rpm, at least. from the side angles, u can count 4 visible trumpets, but 1 hidden behind the shadow(furthest left in the video). All racing engines have air filters, as the debris from the track are huge!!look how dirty the cars are after only 1.5 hours of racing. for the 1st race ever race in bahrain, teams were worried about the sand particles around the track, hence thicker filters were made for that race itself. i think f1 engines are breathing..in a region of wat..30000 litres of air a minute? cant be a V8.

So it's a V8. But since it's dated back to 2004... not sure if it's the latest. If you count the number of cylinders in the video, there are 8. So it’s a V8.

But its normal for the manifold to turn red.. Its very hot inside after all... Yeah.. its the V8 engine.. But its normal for the manifold to turn red.. Its very hot inside after all…

To have an engine ready for the 2006 season, development and testing needs to be done way earlier than that. I'm pretty sure the V8 engine shown above plus any new modifications based on data collected from the 2005 season plus any new FIA regulations make up the current V8 for 2006.

Just to show some engine revving in the background. It really does not show the tech items of the engine. Just to show some engine revving in the background.
