I'll try posing a question:


It has a diesel engine with a higher specific output than a Honda S2000.

What is it?

Ford F250 or 350 with a 6.7L powerstroke?

Seriously... W221 S420 CDI? Those have 258...

The question was answered correctly a little bit further back. BMW M550d. 381ps from a 3 litre inline 6 engine, albeit with the help of 3 (count'em) turbochargers.

Specific output is another way of saying "power per engine volume".
For a 6.7l engine to have a higher specific output than the Japanese domestic market S2000 (250ps from 2 litres, 125 ps/l) it would need over 1675ps (6.7*125).

It's a small car built by a luxury car maker, which many PHers don't seem to like.

Yes, well done.

[Rob282828]

Please can someone rename this thread because it's getting on my nerves, i keep clicking the wrong one all the time.

[JayTee94]

I agree - it is actually annoying me aswell once I spotted my mistake. I have e-mailed Garlick and Stuart but have yet to get a reply but I gather Garlick is on holiday..

In the meantime..

Next Challenge!

It is from a brand that has got heritage and classy image. The company in mind had its fair share of bad press with some models and another company saved them. After, they have succeeded and the sales are going the right way again. They are hoping to improve and carry on this success with a car that had styling input from a member of a well known group.
