Pratt and Whitney R-4360 Wasp Major Motor
Okay, to everyone who thinks all the motorcycle engines are complicated...
hows this?
28 cylinders... and a supercharger and in later versions 2 turbos in addition to the blower!
Engine displacement was 4,362.50 in³ (71.5 L), hence the model designation. Initial models developed 3,000 hp (2240 kW), but the final models delivered 4,300 hp (3200 kW) using two large turbochargers in addition to the supercharger.
