Off Road V16 Dragster with 6 Wheels - GearBlocks (Engine Testing Pre-Release)

I built a V16 engine that makes about 500 horsepower, and then thought it would only be fitting to slam that monster onto a chassis. So I grabbed the suspension from the Workshop, a good 5 speed transmission also from the Steam Workshop, and threw those onto a chassis and body I built. Its also a hybrid, objectively the greatest drivetrain type out there, with two small motors for each front wheel and one very large motor driving the rear four wheels. The engine starts up with a small boost motor that can give it extra torque down low, and the engine can be revved up to its 3000 rpm redline to generate 110kW of electrical power when the secondary generator motor is activated. Its not the most stable thing out there, on account of having soft suspension and me not understanding how to make sway bars, as well as being about 2.7 tons in weight of steel everywhere.

The vehicle shown in the video is available here, although its a bit more powerful after the Engine Update was released and intake flow rates were rebalanced:

Thankfully I didn't use thermal efficiencies over 1.00, since those engines are massively more OP, but to be fair you have to use slider editing to go past the built-in technical limit of 1.00 anyways, which in challenges is considered cheating.
