The tractor makers apparently have produced the worlds most powerful diesel engine at 150bhp per litre . It is they say capable of of 300mph plus

The JCD diselmax CAR yes CAR has 2 turbocharged engines and is TWICe as poweful and TWICE as fast as a Formula 1 car even though it weighs fours times as much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to it the car is 9 metre slong Its a world record attempt that is going to be done very soon

as its a British company

 

Any pics or more info?

 

bearing in mind an F1 car can do 215mph depending on wing settings I'd say it was pretty fast......
However we should be comparing engines with engines - nothing to do with what body its in.

If it does produce 2000bhp then how big/heavy is the engine etc etc

 

Crazy stuff.

 

Ceeeeeraaaaazaaay

 

i cant seem to find a piccy of it anywhere

 

probably because its the size of a house and useless outside of something the size of bus

 

There was a picture of it in the SUN today.Regards Micky

There you go lads,Micky

 

Would love to know what they think is twice as fast about it as a formula one car?

twice as fast up the quarter?
twice as fast at brunters?
twice as fast round silverstone?


God people love all this attention grabbing bollocks, lol




Modern diesels are aweseome though, i reckon they should have done the veryon with a diesel TBH!

 

what kind of engine is it? reciprocating?

i posted about a diesel poweredgas turbine supercar the other day

it does 4 miles to a gallon

and tank only holds 2 gallons

proper monster reports say though

 

So what would everyone want... F1 or that JCB???

 

What you expect? You can get a pissy sub-200bhp 2litre car to do under 10mpg with ease when thrashed, never mind a fucking 300mph top speed sled.

Wouldnt exactly call it a car though, dont see the big deal TBH, its just a bonneville style streamliner, like they been doing since the 1920, just an oil burner
