Did you know that JCB has designed a vehicle powered by 2 of its own, suitably modified, diesel engines in an attempt to beat the current land speed record for diesel powered vehicles? They are looking to better 300MPH in Utah later this year. Engines are 4.4L 4 cylinders.
So don't expect to get caught behind slow moving JCBs in the future!
