All the new American ones do.

Read the link- I'm serious- I found it.

It's a Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine. Primary use is large single screw cargo ships.

And the signs inside the factory appear to be Korean- so German company- building it in Korea.

Question is ... how to install it in a Camaro ... ~4.6 lb/hp, better than a ZR1!
Though it might need a little reinforcement.
