    Well, there's this little baby......



    3500 bhp @ 1900rpm / 10,000 lb-ft @ 1600 rpm

    As it's now on the forum, I guess that makes it "The most powerful diesel on the forum"!!

Seemed a bit silly to have a diesel car at 40+ MPG and the boat lucky to get 1.5mpg at cruise, especialy with marine diesel at 1/4 to 1/3 the price of petrol.
