This is cool
A while back there was an issue of Flying magazine that talks about a aircraft called the Diamond DA40 Twinstar. This dosen't have the typical light aircraft engine that the original design dates from the 60's. This aircraft had two 1.7L I-4 turbo charged Thielert diesels developing 135hp each. I checked out the website for these Centurion Engines and this is what I found.
A 4.0L V-8 diesel developing 350hp at takeoff, that at 2,300 rpm. With guesss what torque? 786 ft Lbs.
Shove it cummins, 6.4L you've been beat by a longshot before you've even entered production. Duramax, see ya.
I think it would be cool to have one of these german diesels in a Ford.
Runs on Jet fuel (kerosene) or Diesel fuel.
