Geezus - has anyone noticed how tiny that bottom end is?! I wonder how short that stroke is...

Honestly though - it'd be nice to see a derviative of these motors in Honda's next sports-cars.

^^ i think they might use something like it in the new NSX.. it will be a V10, so most likely this will be their starting point in terms of blue printing it..

Nice to think that, but it won't happen. There are precious few similarities between what will work on an F1 circuit and what will work on the street. I don't see the NSX being able to rev over 15k rpm, so that alone rules out most of the dimensional similarities that it may have shared with the F1 engine.

I wonder how much and F1 engine goes for these days. I know it would be one bad ass sounding car if it ever did happen to be put in the S

Sure you can fit it in there, the question is..............how do you feel rebuilding the motor every 500 miles?

Hey- they can't use V10's in competition anymore, so why not?

You're going to want to ask them for the gearbox, as well (happily, the differential is integrated). I don't see the stock box/differential holding together under 900 horsepower.
