Inside the world’s largest engine
How this huge and powerful diesel engine is winning the race at sea
Words by Ailsa Harvey
I nside the engine of a car, a line of cylinders works to ignite fuel and provide these vehicles with power. Most cars will have four, six or eight cylinders - some supercars even have 12! Usually the more there are in an engine, the more impressive the power output will be. But no matter how satisfied you are with the power you display as you cruise around the neighbourhood, there is one engine with the ability to make all others feel inferior.
