Do the old Detroit trick and put them end to end and make it a v16
Packard could start making the V12 27 litre engine again. Nice economical engine burning 100 gal an hour at full noise. Variants from 1500 - 2500 hp.
Gas turbine running an electric drive....any toque you want.Has to be able to produce minimum of 500 hp 1850 torque at a steady 1,300 rpm.
Now you're back to diesel fuel again. Hey what engine did the Sherman tanks of WW2 use? I kinda remember a radial aircraft engine of some sort. Shermans were supposed to be reliable over the German PantherGas turbine running an electric drive....any toque you want.
I think they did not run an electric drive.View attachment 274264
Turbines were tried years ago. Chrysler spent 20 years on turbine power.

No...turbine can run on whatever you want.Now you're back to diesel fuel again. Hey what engine did the Sherman tanks of WW2 use? I kinda remember a radial aircraft engine of some sort. Shermans were supposed to be reliable over the German Panther
For some reason the air-o-planes flying overhead seem to meet emissions.....The reason land vehicle turbines never went much beyond the research stage is fuel consumption. Nowadays emissions would be a huge stumbling block as well.

Turbines eat way too much fuel that's the problem.
