While I'm sure they'll get there eventually, this remains a weak point for all of the current-gen AI art tools. And, well, just go up and look at the fingers on the woman in the background.

And in cross-section:




The engine produced considerable thrust. And also some torque and horsepower, apparently as by-products.





It could support up to six distributors, though only two were generally fitted.







Its chief designer, Ernst Fuhrmann, was tried for witchcraft and hanged in Bavaria in 1682. Here, his ghost is seen with the realization of his insane hallucinations in 1953, after a book bound in human skin containing his delusional ramblings was uncovered at the bottom of a well by Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, who paid a Hungarian gypsy four goats to decipher the insane narrative and translate it into workable blueprints by way of psychography, commonly called automatic-writing.
