A little math conversion - the 8.5 million Nm = 6, 269,278 lb-ft of torque. That’s HYUGE!

A strong diesel pickup truck might approach 800-1000 lb-ft, and Ford’s big “Godzilla” 7.3L gasoline V8 (trucks only) produces around 450 lb-ft.

I want one in MY truck too!

The Tesla Model S P100D makes 920 ft-lb of torque In lubricious mode. Electric motors have maximum torque at zero RPM — ICE max torque is always around 5,250 RPM.

Not a fan of electric vehicles but it puts your comparisons into perspective.

I LOVE the HUGE engines on these ships.
