If the displacement isn’t measured in cubic meters, can you even call it an engine?

Bonus points if you have to heat that crap you call fuel before you inject it into the massive cylinder.

If it doesn’t make at least 200kW per cylinder, can the engine even do any real work?

I’d opt for the V10 from the F2004 Ferrari F1 car if I had to pick an engine to listen to, it’s what a race car should sound like. There’s just something about a V10, it sounds musical.

That BRM V16 is a close second though! It’s probably more impressive given it’s 50 years older than the Ferrari engine and was not designed by computers.

Then all you need is a good recording and decent headphones

A good recording and a sound system which can move the exact amount of air that the engine has moved, to be precise.

Ok, me too now. But you can’t have that, so maybe you could settle for a high-reving V8 in a tunnel?
