The goal was to keep the engine displacement as small as possible in order to deliver unrivalled power-to-weight for a vehicle weighing under 1,000 kg. The streamlined 3.9-litre V12 delivered was free of both coverings and belt-driven accessories and became the highest-revving engine ever made for a production car. [citation needed]
Although designed at the end of the previous century, the F20C is still one of the highest output per liter and the highest revving mass production engines ever made. In recognition of its incredible power output, the Honda S2000's engine has won the International Engine of the Year category for 1.8 to 2.2-liter engines five times in its ...
The Lycoming XR-7755 was the largest piston aircraft engine ever built in the United States, [Note 1] with 36 cylinders totaling about 7,750 in 3 (127 L) of displacement and a power output of 5,000 horsepower (3,700 kilowatts).
The 2ZZ-GE remains as one of the highest output per liter and the highest revving mass production engines ever made. It has won the International Engine of the Year category for 1.4 to 1.8-liter engines in 2002 in recognition of its incredible power output. Applications: Toyota Celica SS-II: Japan, 140 kW (190 PS; 187 hp) [13]
Highest top speed (forced induction petrol engine) – Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ – 490.48 km/h (304.77 mph) [56] Highest top speed (naturally aspirated engine) – McLaren F1 – 355–386 km/h (221–240 mph) Highest top speed (forced induction diesel engine) – BMW Alpina D5 S – 286 km/h (178 mph) [57] [58]
Cosworth's aim was to create the most powerful naturally-aspirated road engine ever, while meeting strict and often conflicting requirements in terms of durability, weight, emissions regulations. Cosworth initially developed a 1.6-litre three-cylinder prototype (one-fourth of the Valkyrie's V12 engine) to make the combustion system hardware ...
Electric cars must emit a pedestrian alert sound at lower speeds, but automakers' sound designers have plenty of creative freedom.
Its oversquare and symmetrical design, which sported an 89 mm × 80 mm (3.50 in × 3.15 in) bore and stroke, gave the high-revving engine an output of 220 bhp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 6200 rpm and 200 lb⋅ft (271 N⋅m) of torque at 4800 rpm at the flywheel, and it sported the added luxury of being able to be used in rear-drive applications.
