I bet Mercedes-Benz will produce a more powerfull diesel, they always have to be the most powerfull.
lol
Wel actually I think if you compare power/weight ratio the future 6.0L V12 CDI is actually more powerfull

GOD DAMN thats one big ass engine... is it even possible for it to rev higher than 102RPM? can't even imagine what it would sound like..
"Even at it's most efficient power setting, the big 14 consumes 1,660 gallons of heavy fuel oil per hour."
i wonder what the miles per gallon figure would be..

How the hell are they going to get that engine into the boat? Or are they building the boat around the engine?
