No Replacement for Displacement

[Negative Creep]

Bought myself a Ford Falcon the other day, which comes with a 4.1 producing a mighty 133bhp as standard. So that gives me 25.12 bhp/litre


Can anyone boast a lower claim than that?

wow that's bad- had an original landrover series V8 (a stage 1 V8). That had 89bhp from 3.5 litres which i thought was properly rubbish- but thats 25.4bhp/l, and with the restrictors removed it made 110bhp easily.

My Swift rally car produced 52hp when new with its 993cc engine. I win

Err, that's 52.4bhp/l meaning your figure is twice the OP's. No win!

U1000 unımog, 5.7 lıtre, 100bhp.

No you don't.

Some of the old non turbo diesel V8s from American trucks have got to be up there, figures like 130bhp from a 6.2.

Although having said that, I do have 234 ft/lbs of torque. This means the mid range performance is very strong and in real world driving - *thunk*

i was implying the opposite, never mind.

But it's not got a high hp/ltr figure either...

Am I missing something?

Dear God. 25HP/litre....I think a Suffolk Punch delivers more than that

Is there something wrong with it, or did it really come from the factory with that?!

Well if we're moving away from road vehicles, the most powerful ICE in the world makes about 4.5bhp/ltr.
