This is the Quad Al. It has 12000 hp (8948 kW) and develops 10 000 ft-lb torque! Has 48 pistons, a displacement of 6840 ci (112 L) from four Allison V12 aircraft engines.
It's a 4WD Drag car built in 1965 by Jim Lytle. Reportedly covers the drag strip (1/4 mile) in 3.7 sec…. Ok, not a great off-roader and probably has less range than a Tesla towing.
The most powerful current production 4WD is probably the Hummer EV at 1000 HP

The rather special Special is owned by Jim Patterson from Louisville, Kentucky and is one of three remaining long-tailed roadsters with a covered spare wheel. We’re told it was ordered from new by King Shah of Afghanistan, and that it was stored in the Afghan embassy in Paris to protect it during WW2.
