For those occasions when you need TORQUE!

You know, you've got a tree which needs pulling over, or a rock face to drive through, then you need THIS!!!!

Two 12 L Diesel V8, 2 Blowers, 4 Turbos, Nitrous, 2800 HP and 7585Nm!



I mean, most people do with either turbocharging or supercharging, but not this guy!

7585 Nm? That would give a train a decent 0-60 time

I doubt you'd be needing more than one gear.

Looks like the kind of thing Tractor Pullers might use.

So something out of one of these might work

Big diesels have had turbos blowing into supers since I was a kid. Well, the ones I grew up with, anyway.

Cheers,

I was in minesweepers back in the days when propper ships were made of wood.

We has 2 Napier deltic supercharged 2 stroke diesels - so much piston slap that the stack used to catch alight every 4 days!





If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
