Does anyone watch the show Suits on the USA network? This past weeks episode "Inside Track" was about an F1 company. Towards the end of the episode, there looked to be a V8 engine with a familiar logo. They flashed it a few times but it looked to be the MF408S (only had the Mugen Logo without Mugen Power).

Found it interesting and thought I'd share!

 

How much horsepower per liter? 6000?

 

Mugen Accord



Great Concept!


Also their INDY V8

 

Saw it on the show and saw the badge. First thing I said was "Mugen?!"

Oh and the orange vehicle shown by GateCrasher is the last gen Mugen RL, not an Accord. If my Accord COULD look that way, it would already look that way Damned slowing Honda Accord aftermarket.

 

Toda also makes some nice race engines:

NSX



Toyota V8



Ferrari F430



Ferrari F355



Honda K20A

 

I love that show!

 

It's a 4.0L V8 motor. The Mugen Legend Max M1 (Acura RL) has a supposedly detuned 590-hp version of the MF408S? No idea what the HP-figure is in race trim. Its predecessor, the 3.0L V8 MF308 was capable of 500-hp and revved to 10,500rpms for Formula3000 and Formula Nippon. Dunno if this revs higher than the 9500rpms listed below. Used in the Mugen/Dome LMP racecars for LeMans. It was also in a Panoz LMP racer for ALMS driven by Milka Duno
