tHE VQ35DE ins't obviously the highest HP per liter, but it's a damn good engine imo- good power from a 3.5 and also has torque (260/274 foot pounds)
I think certain japanese companies get caught up trying to put out really high hp per liter cars and they send with torqueless wonders like the S2000. |
The following is from the January 2006 issue of Sports Car International on page 35 regarding the new LS7:
"The net result is a fully trimmed engine that weighs 458 pounds, only 10 more than the 6.0-liter LS2."
Also, BMW's M5 Product Information Guide says that the 5.0 liter 500 hp (SAE net) V-10 weighs 240 kg/529 lbs.
