you obviously forgot the 8.0 L w16 engine in the bugatti veyron

[whitemailprivilege]

You left out the 8.0 liter W16 in the Bugatti Veyron.

Pretty sure the 6.7 Cummins in the Dodge Ram is an inline-6 not a V8.

Just came here to say that whoever photoshoped the thumbnail should be fired

It's nice to have Viper winning something before its discontinued. Where I live, only right hand drive vehicles can be registered as road cars, a lot of muscle car/exotic car fans would love to buy American but they can't. What a shame.

Was waiting for the good ol' 7.3 powerstroke

[ErwinSchrodinger]

It would be interesting if there was an additional video where you match up the exact engines in physical size & weight. I'm still blown away on how physically small many high liter OHV engines are compared to the smaller liter DOHC engines.

the ram doesn't have a 6.7 litre v8 it's an i6.

[j-tuned]

It says v8 for the Cummins which is incorrect. It's an inline 6 which makes it's displacement all the more impressive.

a development team named Pratt and Miller made an 8.2L Corvette. its around 600hp and 600ft/lbs of tourque and a VERY large displacement engine that you can still buy, a rare bird but they are still on the market

[JustinTheSmexy]

what about the Mercury 9.0L, quad cam, 4 valve, (pre-spooling 94mm) twin turboed, 552 cu in, 1650hp engine? fucking beastly

[MuscleCarLover]

What song is that at 0:44? I think I recognise the tune, but don't know where from

[DavidCoxUK]

Pagani Zonda, with its 7.3L AMG V12? Or is this list exclusively for models currently on sale in NA? :-(

[thephoenixcycle]

The host is depressing and depreciating.

[iriniiasonidou]

that viper really is the proof that Americans love massive engines no matter the horsepower output

[matthewcoplen]

Dodge v10 2 valve per cylinder what are they thinking. Next viper should be a duel over head cam that is a flat plane crank engine

[Torpedomtb]

This video is misleading. There is PLENTY of crate engines that are WAY larger than the #1 on this list.. Chevy has the 572ci, Ford (Kaase) has their 820ci, or maybe a more affordable 460ci based Ford engine be had bought in crate form for mid 500ci. Then you got the most over used engine of them all Chevy LS series LSX 454ci.. Not to forget MOPAR which has the 540ci Hemi. ALL of these put out more power and larger displacement than the #1 on your list. so maybe rewording most largest engines in "current produced cars"

[RomanM]

the viper is the best American car in the world.

[RJ-pwij]

What about the 7.3 power strokes from '95?

[viveklego]

How to differentiate between the Rolls Royce Phantom and Wraith?
