Just read in motor trend about the 2010 Ferrari 458 italia. Beautiful car with a 4.5 liter v8 producing 557 horses giving it 123.78 horses per liter. This beats the jdm spec s2000 with 247 horses and 123.5 horse per liter and our usdm and edm spec with 237 horses and 118.5 horse per liter. This of course is concerning naturally aspirated and does not include Mazda's rotary.

 

4,499cc 560 bhp 400 tq
2,157cc 237 bhp 162 tq ( US )
1,997cc 237 bhp 153 tq ( US )
1,997cc 247 bhp 153 tq ( JDM )

s2000 is still proud even after 10 yrs.

 

The 458 is just unreal.

I still love my S.

 

and it only took ferari 10 years to catch up with my honda

 

Bingo and the F cah is reputed to start at 150K, gee for 5x more than a new S2k ya think they could do better than barely beat it

 

I think motor trend said estimated base price of 270k

 

i like the deformable front panels on the 458. that's sick stuff that requires some serious engineering and r&d.

s2000 is still an incredible car.

 

now let us see who can beat honda's highest hp/mpg.

 

A Vette?

They have us beat there by quite a bit...

 

look what we lost that record to though, it's basically an F1 car for the street, not a bad car to lose to IMO. Check out the vid on this thread:
