Porsche has shocked the automotive world by patenting an 18-cylinder internal combustion engine—a monstrous engineering concept unlike anything seen in modern cars. At a time when most automakers are shifting to electric vehicles, Porsche is proving that mechanical power still has a future.
This engine is rumored to deliver unheard levels of torque and horsepower, making it suitable not just for hypercars, but also aerospace and high-performance racing. The patent drawings show a compact radial layout designed to reduce vibration and perfect fuel-air balance even at extreme RPMs.
Even more surprising—reports suggest Porsche may use synthetic e-fuel, a carbon-neutral alternative to gasoline, meaning this mega-engine could still be environmentally friendly while delivering raw power.
The message is clear: the age of the combustion engine isn’t over—it’s evolving.
