Custom 6.0-Liter Racing V-12 Reaches 12,000 RPM

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.

"2023 BMW M2 Exceeds Horsepower Expectations on the Dyno and Outperforms Mustang Mach 1"

The 2023 BMW M2 seems to make more power at the wheels than BMW claims it does at the crank, with a dyno test showing it makes around 11 horsepower and six pound-feet more at the wheels than BMW claims at the crank. The M2's wheel horsepower isn't actually far off from BMW M4, which is more expensive and more powerful on paper. The M2 is shockingly heavy for such a small car, weighing in at 3,758 lbs. It's not surprising that the M2 is more powerful than advertised, but what is surprising is how much more powerful it is.
