8.9 L??!!!! Is it really necessary?? No street tires will provide enough traction to harness those torque anyways.

umm there are plenty of street cars running that much if not more power on street tires with no problem at all and the 572 from GM is bigger and there is even a company that makes a 632 CI motor that a tad over 10 liters. oh and as for the price that isn't going to be a problem for the people buying these cars as there are only going to be 12 ever made...

Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm
