tja...

wenn es sich auf zylinder bezieht, noch ein vorschlag (bitte, nicht gleich mit steinen werfen, ist bloß eine idee). mir fehlt, wie anderen wohl auch noch ein paar sätze davor und ein paar danach...

also: to cube --> ausmessen/berechnen
super cubed --> gut berechneter bzw. vielleicht einfach sehr geräumiger Zylinder

extra groß

Explanation:
super-cubed scheint sich an super-duper (sooper-dooper) anzulehnen.
super-duper = collossal, exceedingly large and remarkable, esp. for its size of scope.
to cube = ausmessen

daraus folgt, daß der Zylinder als außerordentlich groß bezeichnet wird.

Riesen-Hubraum

Explanation:
Leider ist mal wieder eine Antwort voreilig gewählt worden.

Hier ist mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit der 'super' Hubraum von 6,8 Litern gemeint.

Wenn man den Satz umbaut wird er verständlicher:
"This includes the heads of the super cubed 6,8 litre V10 (engine)."
