jay leno's tankrod is the largest i know of that goes on a road.

his engine, a Patton tank diesel from WWII is rated at 1792cu.in. (29.4 liters), pumps 800 horses and 1560ft-lb. of torque.
as for the big bertha of engines, i shiver at the thought of blowing a piston ring, or even just changing the oil.

FYI, yes the motor code is a joke... FH254800DET2
254800 (displacement: 25,480 liters)
DET (yeah you know that)
2 (for two-stroke)
and just if you're wondering, FH is the motor code for ****ING HUGE!!!
i wonder what other real world applications something like this could be used for though.

It's so freaking huge that it looks fake. I mean looking at those pics you can tell it isn't a spoof but good frucking lord. 108,000 + hp? Like if you had that in a street car the second you hit the gas if the axle didn't break into a million pieces, the tires and rim would be instantly consumed.

somehow it reminds me of them midget/troll/elves or watever they are that makes shoes when u r sleeping (i bet u all know them cartoon im referring to right?) well anyway, it just looks like an human being shrunked down into cell phone sizes and work on an engine, i wish i cna turn myself tiny so i can figure out wtf is going on with my damn climate control backlight, sigh but then again if i can turn small, i would rob the bank, hahaha and get myself a brand new car! and buy up all the 240 there is out there, so then i cna rice them all out and get everyone pissed off, muahah!!
