This locomotive is a wonder. Dislocating only   3.0 liters and sporting only six-cylinders, it manages to create 394 hp and 561 lb-ft of torque. Admittedly, it does mansion four-turbochargers to help get the job done but it&rsquo;s still impressive. 561 lb-ft of torque from a six-cylinder engine, regardless of the turbocharger count, is impressive.<\/p>\n<p>But what&rsquo;s most impressive than its astonishing power is how smooth and usable it is. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2016\/05\/18\/bmw-quad-turbo-b57-engine-vs-audi-4-0-tri-turbo-tdi\/\">B5 7 influences the BMW 750 d<\/a> and allows the massive indulgence sedan to get from 0-60 mph in 4.5   seconds. That&rsquo;s damn fast for a massive diesel-powered indulgence car.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BMW-quad-turbo-diesel.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-190500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BMW-quad-turbo-diesel-750x515.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BMW-quad-turbo-diesel-750x515.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BMW-quad-turbo-diesel-768x528.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/BMW-quad-turbo-diesel-1024x704.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This massively powerful BMW diesel engine will return fuel economy of   7.2 liter\/ 100 km.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is also presently used in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/07\/25\/test-drive-2018-bmw-m550d-xdrive-quad-turbos-for-the-people\/\">G3 0 M550d<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/11\/19\/test-drive-2019-bmw-x5-m50d-the-turbo-monster\/\">G0 5 X5 M50d<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2018\/10\/21\/you-can-now-configure-your-bmw-x7\/\">G0 7 X7 M50d<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Second place goes to Porsche&rsquo;s 4-liter flat-six which is used in the 911 GT3 RS.
