Ok so this engine is totally off the mark, but I felt it had to be mentioned...
Just for being insanely powerful!

The world's most powerful diesel engine (http://www.bath.ac.uk/~ccsshb/12cyl/)

Yeah I've seen several engines of that type. Some even larger, but nothing quite that powerful. The really impressive number is the fuel comsumption. 1660 gallons per hour!!! Can you imagine?

Impressive, but if you crunch the numbers a stock 2.0 liter VW engine gives more HP for the amount of displacement. German efficiency at it's best I see. :cool:
