Today we're looking at the world's largest engines,
from three cylinders, all the way up to 48s.

- To kick off this list, we're gonna start
with the largest production motorcycle engine ever built
from the Triumph Rocket 3.
This boss hog is classified as a power cruiser.
It costs 22 grand and comes with an inline three
cylinder pumping out 164 horseporks
all that big old hog pork means it'll hit 60 miles
per hour in 2.8, nine seconds.
All thanks to its huge displacement of
(drum roll)
2.5 liters.
All right, so maybe three cylinders ain't
enough cylinders for you.
Maybe you're a real cylinder queen.
You need more cylinders.
As many cylinders as your fat row face can get.
How about four, the largest displacement
for an inline four cylinder production car engine belongs
to the Pontiac trophy four engine developed
for the Tempest in the 1960s.
It's basically just the right half of the V8 from the GTO.
This naturally aspirated power plant makes an
absolutely blistery
mind blowing
110 horse power that comes in at a whopping 3.2 liters.
They're gonna get bigger.
I promise guys, I understand
that the beginning of the list is a little overwhelming
but we're gonna get into some pretty big engines.
So stick around.
Don't believe me.
Here's our next one.
This one came
in the 1907 grand pre-race car driven by Walter Christie.
It's not only the largest V4 forever
but the largest engine ever put in a grand Prix car.
How big is it?
20,
20 liters.
Do you know how many bottles of figo that is?
I don't either.
And in case you're wondering how it did in the race.
It lasted four laps before exploded.
Somehow that's not even the largest four cylinder engine
on this list.
That honor goes to the legendary land speed car known
as the beast of touring.
The beast was made by Fiat
in 1910 to break the land speed record previously held
by the blitz and bends.
The engine was called the S76.
It makes 290 herspers
at 1400 RPM.
And it sounds like this.
(engine roaring)
How big is this?
Mr. Beast of terrain, a whopping 28 liters.
Now let's move on
to one of my favorite engine configurations
the inline-five, surprisingly, a lot
of car companies have used inline-five cylinder
engines.
Companies such as Acura, Audi, Ford, Mercedes
but the largest one we could find was the Lancia tipo 102
a diesel engine
the powered Italian military trucks during world war II.
It made less than a hundred horsepower
which is pretty bad considering it had a displacement
of 6.9 liters.
I know what you're saying.
Nice. And I know what you're also saying.
James 6.9 liters is way less than 28 liters.
And I agree with you.
(laughter)
Okay. Let's bump up the pistons.
What's more than 5, 6,
6.
The biggest V6 engine in a production vehicle was made
by Chevy for use in 1960s pickup trucks.
This bad boy made 254 horsepower and was simply
called
the 478
because
it was 477.7
cubic inches
which works out to 7.8 liters.
You know, what's cooler than a V6 a straight six.
The largest in-line six engine is the
Detroit diesel
DD16.
This double D truck engine makes 600 horsepower at
over 2000
pounds of torque.
You could tow down a house and it definitely helps
that the engine is 15.6 liters
and after six come seven, wait a sec
James seven cylinders?
Are you off your rocker bra?
Well, clearly you've never heard of the
AGCO
98HD.
Apparently this is one of the only
in-line seven engines currently in production.
It's a twin turbo diesel engine used
for agricultural purposes.
A.K.A tractors, this bad boy makes
1300
pound feet of torques thanks to its displacement
of 9.8 liters.
I should have spaced those better.
No turning back.
That brings us to eight cylinders.
The big Ocho.
How big do you think the biggest production V8
ever built was three liters, five liters, a thousand liters.
Try again, hot shot.
The biggest production V8 ever made
by a company that I like to call Cadillac.
There's a 400 horsepower
big old chunky boy introduced in the year of 1970.
They called it the 500
because that's how many cubic inches it has.
And if you don't speak inches
that translates to 8.2 liters.
But if we're talking crate engines, as in motors
you can buy directly from manufacturers.
The largest one ever is the
brand new
Chevy
ZZ632
for the low price of almost $40,000.
You can buy yourself this thousand horsepower
naturally aspirated V8
that has a displacement of 10.3 liters.
That didn't sit right with Bugatti.
Chevy versus Bugatti one of the fiercest
rivalries in motor sports.
So what did Bugatti do about it?
Well, they traveled back to the 1920s and dropped this
the Bugatti Royale powered by a 300 horsepower straight 8
that how long that boy is, if you want one
of these you'll need to drop about 10 million bucks.
I have two of them.
I'm looking to get rid of one.
I'll give it to you for 9 million
and you'll feel better knowing that you have a bigger engine
than any Chevy with a displacement of 12.7 liters.
But there's another eight cylinder engine
that's bigger than any of these other whimpy ones
a literal tank engine, the Ford GAA
or the Ford gaaaaaa!
This engine was found in the Sherman M4A3,
one of the most important American tanks ever.
And if you're wondering a tank weighs about 71,000 pounds
so you need all the displacement you can get.
And that's why the GAA is 18 liters.
It's La Fuego.
Now it's worth mentioning that the only production car
with a W8 engine was the 2001 Passat
and it made a massive four liters.
At this point in the list, I was gonna mention
all the wonderful nine cylinder engines that exist
in maritime applications, because honestly, it's one
of my favorite things to talk about, but the monolist
said no, and if I don't do it, it says it sprays me
with what?
I haven't figured it out yet, but I can't
keep getting this stuff on my clothes.
It stinks and it's sticky and makes dogs chasing.
So let's jump into production V10s.
The biggest production V10 ever
comes from a datey little car called
the Dodge Viper.
At the end of the Viper's life, it had made 645 naturally
aspirated herspers.
Thanks to a legendary V10 with a displacement
of 8.4 liters.
Biggest V12 that ever went into production was
the Chevy 702 A.K.A the twin six, because his two sixes
equals twelves and three sixes equals mafia.
Shouts to Juicy J.
I know you're watching.
This engine was found
in some of the biggest GMC trucks of the 1960s
and crank shaft alone weighs 180 pounds.
This bad boy bruiser clocks in at 11.5 liters.
Next up we're taking this trained V16 town.
2003 Cadillac came out with
a concept car called
the Sixteen.
Guess what they called it?
That four, because it had six, a V 16 in it.
The engine supposedly made a 1000 horsepower.
It was essentially just two LSV eights fused together.
How big is these two LSS combined
(phone making noise)
- The number you
- 13.6 liters.
So now you're probably thinking there
aren't bigger engines than 16.
How's that even gonna fit in a car?
Where am I gonna sit?
Well, this next engine isn't even in a car at all.
It's for a train, or as I like to call a railroad van
EMD 710 is a two-stroke turbo diesel V20 engine.
It's called the 710
because each cylinder is 710 cubic inches.
So if you multiply that by 20
you wind up with a total displacement
of 14,200
cubic inches or
232.69.
Nice. Liters.
That's the, I don't know if you've been paying attention
but that's the biggest one so far.
I told you they were gonna get big.
Our next engine comes
from probably the fifth coolest vehicle on the planet
talking about a sea plane.
That's a plane that can float
or a boat that can fly depending
on your paradigm, man.
Fiat AS.6 is the largest V24 engine in the world.
It's basically two V12 Fiat engines fused together.
In 1934 this thing made 2,900 horsepower making
the fastest sea plane in the world.
And almost 90 years later
the record still stands.
I assume, because it's sort
of a race that no one else is participating in anymore.
Clocks in at a whopping 50 liters.
Coming up next on the list is a 36 cylinder radial engine.
Unlike any of these other engines on this list.
So far, a radial engine has the cylinders circled
around a central crank case, like big, scary wheel.
Engines like these were used in airplanes
before jet turbines became the standard.
Okay. The largest one ever was the
Lycoming XR
7 7
5 5.
All these cylinders make 5,000 horsepower
and add up to 127 liters.
And we're still not at the highest amount of cylinders.
The most amount of cylinders ever put in a vehicle is 48.
And no, it didn't come in a plane or a train or a tank.
It actually came in a fricking motorcycle.
This Kawasaki right here was custom built
by an absolute psychopath in his garage, he combined 16
three cylinder engines together.
All in all this haul puts out a displacement of 4.2 liters.
Before we talk about the absolute largest engine
on this list, I wanna give a shout
out to an engine with no pistons at all.
Of course, I'm talking about the rotary
the nacho taco
pig sound in one.
Most rotary engines have like three rotors at most
or if you're a true madman like Rob Dom, you go for four
but that's not even close
to the 12 rotor engine built by a guy named Tyson Garvin.
He claims it's capable of almost 5,000 horsepower
and it comes in at a whopping 15.7 liters, which is a lot.
And that brings us to one final engine.
No, it doesn't have the most cylinders on this list
but let me tell you it's big.
We've probably seen it in memes.
The Wärtsilä
RT
FLEX
96C is a low speed
2 stroke 14 cylinder motor.
It's 44 feet high,
87 feet long
and weighs 2300 tons
or eight nolans.
It's capable of producing an insane 107,390 horsepower.
And over
5.6
million
pound feet
of torques at a whopping screaming,
102 RPMs
meant to power container ships and cruise ships and stuff.
Although I would love to see someone swap it
into a supra just to piss off the pures.
How big is it? You asked?
Try 1828.7 liters.
You think you think you're a real car act
cause you made a coffee table out of an engine block.
Well, I made a fricking tiny house.
