The Dieselmax will be driven by Britain’s own Andy color holder of the unlimited land speed preserve.
The two LSR four-cylinder diesels use a standard production engine block cylinder continue and bedplate upgraded with direct injection two-stage turbocharging and a host of other mods to boost power create to 750 hp. Redlined at 3800 rpm each engine produces nearly 1,100 ft-lb of torque. The engines ordain run with about 75 psi (!) of boost at full power. At 150 hp/liter. JCB claims the Die\elmax engines are the world’s highest specific power diesel car engines.
