wow amazing, what is also amazing is that 100hp per litre NA was the benchmark for many years. Meaning 150hp NA from 1.5 litre and roughly double that in turbo form.
They found a extra 100 hp from somewhere, would be interesting to see what boost this is on? 40 psi? and torque figures. That little eco boost motor is good too. |

Bikes have been making 200 horsepower per litre reliably for quite some time now, but of course without boost they don't make bottom end grunt really out of that litre. But the engines are very reliable even when taking pretty constant punishment. As for weight the litre Superbike engines are probably around 40kg now, perhaps a little more, but that also includes the gearbox etc.

People think this sort of stuff is amazing but the reason we dont see much of it is that the engineers are all limited by budget.
Imagine if you took your automotive engineers and gave them free reign, put em all in a room and say do what you like. We'd see some pretty amazing things. But theyve gotta answer to some flog in suit and tie who knows nothing but calls all the shots. The time when you start seeing cool and amazing things is when you get a group of dedicated dudes working on something in their free time together out of love for their work and trade.

Thought it had been looked at before, but I just picked up on the weight.
My Boat has 2 x 1500cc 3cly Rotax 4-TEC engines, they have quite impressive power outputs for the size, but nothing like 400HP they also weigh over 80kg each. so this Nissan's specs are pretty impressive

Yes but they would still be slower than any sportsbike, handle like dogs and generally just be a sick anathema to any motorcyclist.

Amazing amount of power from such a little engine.
Just goes to show how far technology has come since the old day. |
