This is the Wartsila-Sulzer deisel engine. It provides motovation for massive container ships. The 14 cylinder, turbo charged, two stroke version (it comes with anywhere from 6 to 14 massive jugs) produces an incredible 5.6 million foot-pounds of torqueat a leisrely102 rpm's. Each cylinderdisplaces over 1820 liters and produces 7780 horsepower. Overall, the 89-foot-long engine weighs 2300 tonsand, at maxium-economy cruise, comsumes nearly 1700 gallons of fuel oil an hour. It seems like a lot, but it is actually among the most efficient internal-combustion engines around, with specific fuel consumption less than half of a modern motorcycles.

Here's the real question...Can you wheelie it? :)

Those pictures look like they are out of that movie, "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.".

I use to build the fuel injectors for these engines here in colorado ...the fuel injectors alone cost 5000 dollars a piece ..... it was a interesting job but i learned alot...my boss had a valve from one of these on display and it was about 4 feet tall and about 15 inches in diameter.....

That engines actually incredibly efficient for how big it is. More efficient than the average car engine.
