Gotta love the Italian term for "rev's". Whenever I'm skimming through I think giri/min is girl/min....I can't help feeling disappointed when I realise my error.

Back to the specs, 140hp is is some serious stomp for just 8500girls, er, I mean revs.

Not particularly.

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm

Size matters.

Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

Fuel consumption at maximum power is 0.278 lbs per hp per hour (Brake Specific Fuel Consumption). Fuel consumption at maximum economy is 0.260 lbs/hp/hour. At maximum economy the engine exceeds 50% thermal efficiency. That is, more than 50% of the energy in the fuel in converted to motion.
For comparison, most automotive and small aircraft engines have BSFC figures in the 0.40-0.60 lbs/hp/hr range and 25-30% thermal efficiency range.

Spark, Just wanting to check 'do you give out Bibs and Diapers as mandatory test riding equipment???'

I just want to make sure that I'm covered for the drool when I see it, and the shit that comes out during the test ride!
