The Globe, taking up berths 8 and 9 at Felixstowe, has seemingly set a second world record. Its engine is the biggest, in terms of sheer physical size, rather than power, ever made, according to its German design firm Man Diesel. It is 17.2m (56.5ft) high, 5.2m (17ft) wide and 22.5m (74ft) wide.
The two-stroke engine, built in South Korea, operates at 56.8 megawatts. That's the equivalent of almost 38,000 1,500-watt vacuum cleaners.

Might upset the handling, and you'd lose some boot space. Nice and torquey though.

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

My old job had me looking after those.
Job was fine but 4 month trips wasn't much of a life.

I work on slightly smaller and older variants of that. That's one of the newer, camshaftless engines using hydraulics/electrical solenoids for injection/exhaust valve operation. Impressive bit of kit!
