Have you ever wondered how many cylinders you can actually squeeze into an internal combustion engine? V12 engines, like those in Lamborghini, or 16 cylinders in Bugatti, impressive as they are, aren't even close to what has been achieved. Even V20 engines used in aviation, or the 28-cylinder supercharged radial engines like the Pratt & Whitney R-4360 WASP with a 72-liter displacement producing 4,000 horsepower, are still far from the pinnacle. The real excitement begins with radial engines like the Zvezda M503 used to power class 5 missile boats. It consists of 7 six-cylinder engines, totaling 42 cylinders with a 143.5-liter displacement and generating 4,000 horsepower. One such engine, with slightly increased power to 8,000 horsepower, is used by the German tractor pulling team Dragon Fire. There were also two variations of this engine, one consisting of seven 8-cylinder engines with 56 cylinders and a record-breaking version with 14 eight-cylinder blocks, totaling 112 cylinders, weighing 15 tons, with a 384-liter displacement, generating 10,500 horsepower.
