Being a huge fan of EVO's, I saw this video after and peed a little.

1600hp for a 3.8L is really impressive I'm all for forced induction though, I just like turbo's more. Less weight, higher efficiency even if you don't get the low-end grunt of a roots style system. A 6L n/a engine making 1000hp would be making 166hp/L which is greater than any known automotive engine today. The closest you can get is the larger displacement bike engines that rev to 13k or so. A Hayabusa is 1.34L and makes near 195hp, so 145hp/L. Rotaries are also capable of insane HP levels too, just not much torque, and not much down low. Great for race engines, but they give up longevity and reliability over a 4 stroke piston engine. The truth of the matter is that any naturally aspirated production engine making over 100hp/L is doing excellent. The Ferrari 458 makes 126hp/L. The S2000 was the previous holder for production cars @ 120hp/L. Most performance engines are in the 70-80hp/L range. Z06 is 7L and makes 505hp for 72hp/L. Its just not fair to compare a modern forced induction engine against a modern n/a engine when HP/L is the benchmark. The N/A engine will always fall short unless the F.I. engine is junk. |
