My old S2000 had 240hp from its 2.0litreORIGINAL: Motorhead I agree with those sentiments John. In whatever guise, it's a great driver's car and inevitably the new car moves things on. And I see that the base 981 Cayman engine now boasts 100bhp/litre. Jeff
A fantastic high-revving engine Dan. My friend had a Mk1 Civic Type-R with a slightly less powerful variant of the engine. As I recall, a lot of top-end power but not much torque - typical of a race engine. Terrific gearbox too. There was a time when 100bhp/litre was considered the pinacle of I/C engine technology but things have moved on a pace since then, particularly with the introduction of forced induction. When the 3 litre Cosworth DFV engine was introduced in 1967 it produced over 400bhp @ 9,000rpm but the 1983 DFY version gave over 520bhp @ 11,000rpm. A pity Porsche didn't choose to give the 981 Cayman S 100bhp/litre. We live in hope that there's something waiting in the wings..!
