The Ultimate Engine Sound - Made by a Diesel
Quote:
We are, of course, talking about the ‘Screamin’ Detroit two-stroke diesel.
The two-stroke diesel was first introduced in 1938, as an alternative to large engine applications, where a gasoline-powered engines used too much fuel and had too little torque to do a job efficiently. It was then adopted and adapted for road and sea-faring use, as, for example, it was a two-stroke diesel that powered the Allies’ landing craft on the beaches of Normandy.
However, the reason these engines caused such a fuss is because they were very torquey and, of course, the engine note which frankly sounds just like any supercar, and if you were to hear one for the first time with your eyes closed, you wouldn’t for a second think that what you’re hearing is in fact fuel exploding by mere compression, with no spark.
