Most Powerful Diesel Engine

I just stumbled on this article and I thought I would pass it on. Wartsila-Sulzer has developed a 108,920 HP with 5,608,312 lb/ft of torque diesel monster!!! Take a look at the article....quite impressive!

I am just wondering now how long it is going to take before someone makes a "chip" for this beast! Maybe a nice CAI and dual exhaust!!

I was hoping it would fit in the bed of my truck and I would consider a conversion

Well if he does get it to fit,,, his truck would be the size of a CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIP NOT THE U.S.S. MINNOW!

Then we can TRUELY call him a road hog!!!

He could not even if he tried!!! Besides,,, He could not make some of the curves!
PLUS!!! Those bridges on the PA Pike, are 13'9" at the berms and 14'6" in the middle! Would love to see him deliver a BRIDGE!

With 5 million foot pounds of torque, I think I can get through the tunnels.

The tunnel may not be reuseable though.

89 feet long is no problem on the curves, I have driven rigs that long before.
