I'll take your v12 and raise you to a Detroit v16 and a McDonalds car Park on a Friday night.....

Slightly more modest but the outlaws Botnia Targa 35 had a pair of Volvo diesels rated at about 350bhp each; a thing resembling a fishing boat used to fly past people at over 40 knots. Thames River Police use them.

The original HYBRID (combustion engine + electric motor ).

Not very eco, mind.
