Have you ever wondered just how big an engine can be? Today we will countdown the most gigantic engines ever made and the enormous vehicles they power. From vintage grand prix racecars to enormous container ships, this countdown displays all the largest engines.
This video showcases some of the most impressive and powerful engines in the world. These engines would have been designed and built for a variety of purposes, including powering ships, trains, and planes, as well as generating electricity for homes and businesses.
Today we are counting down the biggest engines ever manufactured and take an educational look at some of the most impressive feats of engineering in the world.
The Yakovlev M-501 was originally a 42-cylinder monstrosity, designed to power the USSR's heavy bombers after the end of WWII. When it was discovered that jets would be a more viable option, the colossus was given a second life powering fast attack missile boats. If the 42 cylinders weren't enough already, they later upgraded it to a 56 cylinder version, then coupled two together into a 112 cylinder abomination.
