Pete Aarmeda and Kevin Braun have created a custom 6.0-liter V-12 engine for land speed runs, using design decisions from older IndyCar and NASCAR engines. The engine revs up to 12,000 RPM and produces an estimated 750 to 800 horsepower. The engine is a fascinating homebrew in the grand spirit of innovative silliness that gave us LS-based V-12s and 10-liter V-8 crate motors.
Aardema Braun has built a custom 6.0-liter V12 engine for their land speed racer, which they estimate will make between 750-800 peak horsepower and rev to about 12,000 rpm. The engine was designed using 3D-printing and features custom-made components, including a crankshaft and pistons. The V12 sounds violent but unique on the dyno, with a deep, burbly sound similar to a NASCAR V8 but with a higher-pitched wail. The engine will power a custom tubular frame chassis at the 2023 Bonneville Speed Week event.
