My honda fit has a higher hp/L ratio than the new viper. That thing isn't even close.

My engine makes 12000hp, but 11200 of it is spent overcoming friction.

That's like saying I can probably lift 500 lbs but sadly I got to overcome earth's gravity (the reality of physics). Marketing BS |

Haha Good one. Any 600cc+ sportbike will have more than 100hp/l. My 08 CBR600RR also make 100hp.

As OP I'll make another decree that it doesn't have to be a car as long as your post contains some interesting info about engines that contributes in some way to the general topic. I didn't know that about sport bikes, so that qualifies as interesting

A CBR600RR on the other hand makes about 100Nm/L, which doesn't sound that great until you realize it's only 600cc, so the engine has to deal with proportionally much more friction and heat rejection than any larger car engine. Bike engines have miniscule strokes (600cc bikes are typically 42mm or something like that) and hit 12000-15000rpm. 600cc bikes are IMO the coolest thing a normal consumer can buy, 15000rpm, power peak at 13500rpm, 180hp/L +. Not far from an F1 engine at all. Previous season F1 engines had minimum stroke of 39.5mm says Wikipedia, and 2014 they will be rev limited to 15000rpm |

Moto GP machines make between 240-260 hp out of a liter... I know I know not a production car.. But still an awesome hp/liter output, like F1..
The first car that pops in my head besides an exotic is always the S2000... I always remember the ads about it.. What 120hp per liter back when it came out |

yeah I still remember that.. 120HP per liter. Could read about the amazing figure in every review.. It is still very impressive today for a road car!
The last/current Porsche GT3 RS 4.0 beat it tough.. 500HK. 125HP/L I do not know of any production road going vehicle with more HP/L... |
