| Re: JCB Diesel power We seem to be good at this sort of thing, yet don't have a car industry of our own anymore to shout about! It shows the Brits can still mix it with the big boys when it comes to engineering and technology.

| Re: JCB Diesel power 750hp does seem rather a lot from a 4 cylinder engine though... |

| Briskodian | Re: JCB Diesel power Apparently the whole thing is just a publicity stunt to try and gain sales over CAT in the USA. Wel done to all those involved though. |

| Re: JCB Diesel power So what do we reckon you could see from 2 R10 units in a suitably aerodynamic body? I'm thinking we might be heading towards an absolute wheel-driven LSR, since that's still only 409mph (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_Speed_Record ). |
