Tell that to the guys that built the old BMW M10 based F1 engine. That only displaced 1.5L but produced 1500HP!

Or the guys building the Qualifying engines for the Sierra RS500 GroupA. They Produced only ~650BHP from the 2L engine.


Realy, there's no replacement for ..... displacement, a well designed inlet and outlet, combustion chamber, forced induction, fuel control.

Just look at some of that big old american iron 5L engines producing sub 200BHP...
