That’s about as good as a 1970’s VW 1700!

Ah yes the late 80s when 300hp small block was cool.

I’m at 56.6

Exactly WHAT engine is in that Camaro? That's too little even for the 305.

My 1970 Volvo has 41 hp per litre. Not an achievement in any sense..

The 80s 5.0L TBI made 150 hp (later 170)

65/L for me.

To bad they can’t make a DOHC Viper. 840 hp from 8.4L

Most of these examples are pretty old.

Did you know you can get a brand new vehicle with a motor producing 50hp per liter? It’s even got the word ‘sport’ in its name.

I thought the 305 was 200hp. I guess that was the early 90's then.

24hp/L what do I win?

My car makes 67.5 BHP per liter

not bad for a 40 year old NA 4 cyl

My 1.4TSi has 125hp so that equals 89.3hp/L. Cool.

My rabbit gets a solid 72 hp/l which I think is pretty good for being NA.

I’m at 69.6 hp/L. Not bad for a decade-old economy car.

There were a few 305’s offered in the early 90s

The 170-hp TBI

There was a TPI that made 200 hp with an automatic transmission, 230 hp with a manual.

You want litres? Have some litres. To be exact, have 25,480 of them which between them manage to produce 108,000 bhp. Only 4.25 hp per litre though.

Its all about HP per valve.

Somewhere between 130 and 150hp per liter. I love turbos.

Jeez, my BMW manages to have 71hp/liter out of it’s 3.0L V8. It’ll have about 80 after the chip I’m going to put in it this winter.

DoYouEvenShift > dogisbadob

That would be half the size of the car lol

Funny that stat jumps out. When vw brought out the 2.5l it was 150, later 170.

Always more liters!!!

104HP per liter!!!

The best part is that theres 7.4 of them.

If you want to talk about efficiency, you talk about BSFC. Any other measure, on displacement, torque, mass, etc. is all imprecise. You can have a tiny displacement engine with massive boost (F1 engines) make tons of power, or a massive atmospheric engine make the same. Displacement as a measure only matters because of silly tax laws and the physical restrictions of the vehicle (assuming that engine size/mass and displacement have a strict relationship, which isn’t true - look at how big an Ecoboost 4 with all it’s goodies is...).

That as well.

And it runs backwards, when you want to proceed that way.
