Fun not funk...

Have to get out of this funk so maybe some good news.

Phil posted this on Facebook so I'll post it here. New slightly larger engine for the 2015 Spyder, sneak peek.

:shocked: I wonder how many gallons per mile it'll do...
I'm guessing that it's for maritme usage? :dontknow:

I think Phil said 100,000 horsepower. I'm guessing 0-60 in 30 minutes.

And about a jillion pound-feet of torque! :2thumbs:

 

[boborgera]

Will it run on 87, Or do they still use #6 f-o.:roflblack:

 

[Chupaca]

Larger that life..!!

How tall do have to be to straddle that...?? :roflblack:

Some more info. This is a two cycle diesel producing 80MW. Peak operating RPM is 102. Working RPM is 90. This engine actually exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. Can you imagine that kind of mileage with our Spyders. Picture in post 1 is a 14 cylinder.



Left: 300 ton crankshaft for the 6 cylinder.
right: Piston.

90 rpm... I bet that it kind of makes those Harley riders jealous!

Don't think we'ed have to worry about lugging it.
