Cool

... can't easily be fitted to a car. So we'll never know what its real world performance is

5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm Yes, over five and a half million pounds-feet of torque.

Full details

I'm sure that a petrol equivalent would be faster however.

Maybe over 0-100, I'll grant you. But the in-gear performance of the diesel would be better

And I wouldn't fancy sourcing spark plugs for a petrol version, either ...
