    Interesting read, kudos to those naturally aspirated cars that made it on that list.

    That's what I was going to say. I think the list is sort of BS since most of the cars are boosted. Some of the Honda Vtec engines really should be on there, for instance the JDM Civic Type R makes 240hp from a 2.0l NA powerplant...

    I was looking for a type R and was shocked not to see it. Honda has always boasted about their HP per Liter.

    F430 makes 113 hp per liter NA.

    Scuderia makes 116 hp per liter NA.

    At least half of that list is "boosted". Yes that list is crap.

    Even so, it's funny that the quad-turbo charged non-SS Veyron is towards the bottom of that list... A NA 458 Italia produces more power/liter than a car that has 4 turbo chargers???? Forza Ferrari

    The JDM and Euro CRX 1.6 Vtec was making 100bhp/litre NA 20 years ago.

    Mine now makes at least 131/litre and ~270/tonne with a little bit of boost
