Hello. It has been a while since I have posted. I have a question about our hp to liter ratio. I believe I have read on this site before that the S2000 does or did have the highest horsepower to liter ratio of any mass produced N/A car. Is this still true?

 

I believe it still holds true, at least for a 4 cylinder @ 120hp/litre. Evo is 140ish/litre but its turboed so. Mustang is 5 litre but 500hp on some models with FI, so even that is only 100hp/litre.

S2000 is a serious motor when it comes to N/A. I think it still holds true as Highest reving highest output N/A motor commercially available.

formula 1 cars are 300hp/litre is not more and they are N/A!!!

Cmon honda you are half way there with the S2000. I WAS 600 N/A HP!!!

 

yes... Ferrari is close with a few models for NA....

 

I like that a lot. It's a good thing to know when people go on and on about how great their car is.

 

^not sure that it really matters all that much... F20 doesn't have very good torque so a bigger engine with more torque would be enjoyable sometimes.... or the Evo's ease of modifying is a big plus for it compared to spending $5k on the S2000 to get 20whp....

 

Can't argue with you Scot. It's just nice to know the S2000 comes in first in at least one category . Maybe there are some more too but I am not sure what they would be.

 

rx8 237hp @ 1.3L

 

rotary though, doesnt count

 

 

I thought nissan had us beat by like 2 hp per liter on one of their new 4 cyl's.
