"At 112bhp per litre, F430 is also right on the button in the specific power stakes too

 

it has 480hp

 

hm. in both the top gear and fifth gear tv show reviews, they said 490. unless the version in europe is different than ours in the states...

 

small note, but the HP/L should be taken with a grain of salt

it says "The 4.308-litre quad-cam 32-valve V8 produces 368kW at a lofty 8500 rpm

 

honda hasnt made any production vehicle in the states with a 9k redline for 2 years. as i read it, they are only talking about currently made cars. though, outside the states, they still use the 2.0L so... im confused.

 

That's sensible...considering the F430 stickers at over 5 times the price of the S2000

 

rx-8 @ 9k...but it's not a piston engine.
