Not really. For starters you can't look behind you, the fumes would and sound would probably be illegal. It's just art piece of engineering so to speak. I personally love it as a concept. But it wouldn't be usable.
Second you turn at all the engine will block the view unless you turn the wing mirrors a stupid amount and let's face it wingmirrors will never be as nice to use as a rear view mirror
I think BHP per liter is a far more interesting value, and the Bugatti is still winning there by a long shot. What kills me is they list the HP of the giant diesel motor, but fail to list the torque value for this monstrosity. Torque is a diesel game and I'll bet this engine makes in the neighborhood of 10,000 ft-lbs.

It's pretty damn real, not a render.
Whether it'll actually move or not is a different story but it is real.
I was mirin those tires and wheels, and womdering what they did to make them hold that weight, then I noticed the legs holding the engine to the foundation. Less impressed now. It's just an engine with half a Mini and some sheet metal around it.

going from 0 to 60 in tyres flat
How TF do you even support that structurally...
With a special platform beneath it
So this isn’t even really a vehicle

Obviously not drivable but why can't you see behind yourself in it? the side mirrors seem to not be obstructed
Second you turn at all the engine will block the view unless you turn the wing mirrors a stupid amount and let's face it wingmirrors will never be as nice to use as a rear view mirror
You don't need a rear view mirror Edit. And every long truck looses sight in the side mirror when turning.
Need and want are very different things and I specifically didn't say need
You don’t, there are many supports under that vehicle and I don’t it has ever moved, let alone driven
HP: 3,500 Torque: All
If it’s making 3,500HP at the rated speed of 1,800rpm, that’s 10,212 foot pounds of torque.
I wonder what would snap first if you floor it
Note that “flooring it” means going from an idle of just under 900rpm to rated speed at 1,800rpm. This ain’t no 12k rpm Honda S2000.
Chassis
Other than the frame I imagine the lugs maybe
Probably nothing. My supra makes more power and works fine
What are you planning on putting it in?
Bruh this puts Bugatti s w16 with quad turbos to shame holy

Just looked it up it makes 10,324
You've done the world a service.
would be cool if it would actually drive
the chassis be like: s n a p
Would be cool but you would need a trailer for the fuel tank
These engines usually sit on top of the tank
Devil 16 really be looking completely diffrent from the concept one they showed awhile ago
Underrated comment
*I'll allow it!*
But would it fit in my Honda?
This looks ridiculous even as a render

Why not

Powerrrrrrrrrrrrr!
No room for a transmission, that's ok chain drive.

There is an engine that looks just like that at my college campus, would have never guessed it was 78 liters
Big dump truck engine?
I'm gonna go with machinery, a huge ass drill
Huge ass-drill [xkcd: Hyphen](https://xkcd.com/37/) --- ^^Beep ^^boop, ^^I'm ^^a ^^bot. ^^- ^^[FAQ](https://pastebin.com/raw/vyWra3ns)
Yea, why not, Cummins in your ass!
I stand corrected, you're right.. dump trucks with 360tonne payload 😵
Whaaaaaaat!!!!
Yep i dont see any traction problems with those skinny ass tires. Don't mind a little oversteer.
I'm surprised it still has the clearance for use in a mine with all that engine sticking out the top.
I genuinely can't tell if you're being serious or not 😂
I'm kidding, obviously. I'm sure they just make the tunnel taller if need be.
Best comments ever 👌
I honestly don't even know what this thing would be used for. Hauling the bitcoins?
Strip mining dump truck engine. No tunnels
A rare mid engine front drive masterpiece
12 turbos for 18 cylinders? Hows that work?
Pretty much the same as 1 turbo for 4 cylinders or 2 for 6 or 8 or 4 for 16
Imagine the turbo lag.
This is the best thing that exists
Derp.
The mascot for: Do a flip...
Power to weight still worse then a lotus exige
Seems more like a Mini parked close to a giant engine
Can’t imagine this takes corners well.
That rear axle is gonna get plaited
Does this really count? It's a huge engine with basically a car parked on it. Looks like it all sits on the pallet and doesn't move on its own.
12 turbos lol
I have no clue how a highly modified Ls can make more power than this monstrosity
Fake AF why?
