This thing was commissioned by a deep pockets lunatic named Big Mike Harrah. It's a monster 24 cylinder Detroit Diesel engine with no less than twelve giant superchargers and enough chrome bling to crush a tank. It's intended to go into a customized Peterbilt semi. Why in the hell you ask? If you have to ask that at all you'll never understand hot-rodding.

Yeah and it likely has well over 5000 pound-feet of torque. That's around twice the power of the turbine in an Abrams M1 tank!
