If your taste runs toward long, strapping aluminum cars with a massive engine stuffed inside, the Meteor 27-liter V12 Special is your love connection. It’s delightfully stocked with a Rolls-Royce Meteor engine lifted from a Centurion tank, the chosen battle vehicle of the British Army. It loves long drives on the beach and welcomes the stares as it rolls by.
Before you embark on an affair with this custom hand-built vehicle, know that this is an expensive date: it has a 25-gallon gas tank that gets only five to ten miles per gallon. You'll also want to note that it can't be run to its full potential of 204 miles per hour unless you get some proper tires for it, because the current set is rated for 135 mph. It doesn’t come with a chassis number or engine number, either, and it needs a little TLC. But it has a tank engine. I approve of your elopement.

Wrong. Horsepower does work. The max work per unit time is limited to your max hp.
Depends on fast you want the work done. “Give me a lever and I will move a mountain”.
We made a mistake working towards high RPM short stroke large bore. We should have stuck to long stroke smaller bore high torque instead.
Can you imagine what mileage and power a model T ford could get with Computer management, fuel injection and turbo charging?
Nice pose, Jay. Now get the car moving!
More practical:
Here’s what happens when you shove a 27-liter V12 tank engine into a Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. The team’s goal is to make 2,500 hp (1,864 kW) and 3,806 pound-feet (5,160 Newton-meters) of torque.
