The Meteor Interceptor (2500hp?)

[98 svt]

This thing is a real cool project going on over in Sweden. Twin turbo Rolls Royce V12 tank engine in a Crown Vic. I'm hoping to see more updates on this one.

What's the RPM range on that monster?

What's the RPM range on that monster?

Good question Bob, I'm not sure. Maybe some of the military buffs can help us out with that one.

They are looking for 2500HP at just 3400 RPM.

Excuse me, there’s a car around your engine.


Pick your poison.

The Swedes are bonkers with automotive shit. If you haven't seen 1320's coverage of the Stockholm Open watch it. Like an illegal Drag Week over one night. Race to the race site.

Looks like stock they churn 550-600 at 2500rpm so it's possible that's the top end of the rpm range.

I'm just recollecting hearing tanks on the field and my guess was maybe 3500 rpms max. They're not designed for high RPMs. I'm not a military expert so maybe I'm way off on this.

This thing is going to make like 3800tq at that power and RPM. Probably over 4000 lower in the RPM range if those turbos are spec'd to light earlier.

Curious if that transmission survives, I found a link that said they are running a "mil spec" Allison.

Guess we will find out lol.
