i think it would need more power having an engine so giagantic. and the block is probably iron because of the stress being put on it

the cadillac sixteen is old news.

but anyway.. shit, with that much money into a 2JZ supra i could make 1500hp. in a 6 cylinder...why the fuck would someone want the extra weight of a V16? that's just stupidity.

actually its the caterham superlight R500 Evolution you are thinking of. 20k would be the price if you constructed the car yourself from the kit.

I read an article about it like a year ago so this is from memory but apparently when you are just cruising around 8 of the cylinders are shut off but turn on when you put the hammer down. So when 8 are shut off you have an 8 cylinder car so basically you get the gas mileage of a mustang. (which isn't great but if you have the money to buy that car, gas is the least of your concerns.)
