Cummins Bringing 4000 HP 95-Liter Diesel Engine to Goodwood

The fact that British firm Cummins is bringing a massive 95-liter diesel engine to the Goodwood Festival of Speed definitely belongs in our U-Turn section, with all the strange and wonderful information we provide every day.

This will be the biggest and most powerful engine ever to be shown at goodwood, as the QSK95 diesel, nicknamed ‘Hedgehog’ puts out a staggering 4,000 horsepower and enough torque to move mountains.

“It is difficult to judge the sheer size of this product until you see it.  Cummins leading ISBe engine, used by many vehicle manufacturers, has a cubic capacity of just over 6 litres.  The QSK95 Hedgehog engine has around the same capacity as the ISBe engine in each of its 16 cylinders.  So it has the equivalent power of 16 Cummins-powered vehicles you see every day; 16 delivery trucks, 16 city buses or 16 excavators,” says Steve Nendick, Cummins Marketing Communications Director for Europe.
