Interesting but the Japs have had normally aspirated 600CC engines with over 125bhp for a number of years now
Car engines for 1400kg cars?
Well no, but I don't see why they couldn't use these engines in a car. 125hp is 125hp and at 5252rpm the torque must also be identical on both engines so pulling a bigger load shouldn't be an issue at all.
trouble is in the true fashion of all 3 cylinder engines it will have no torque and it's life will be incredibly short.
last year's BMW 1000RR bike produces 198 bhp from 1 litre & 83 lb ft torque

Note the torque is woeful at 40% of the power and at what revs is the power and torque produced?
If you put that engine in a regular car all you would do is burn the clutch out.
Hmmmm, so that would be a 1 litre v10 with 200bhp then, and sound like a demented wasp2 bhp is an average output for a 10cc engine used in r/c aircraft, so 200 bhp/litre there
I have no torque issues with my CBR1000RR Fireblade, have trouble keeping the front wheel down in most gears
This chart shows why a Busa engine is such a flexible engine and so commonly put into track cars. You can also bolt on a turbo with very few internal mods and reliably run them with 400HP
Ahh I cant paste the table so you'll just have to click the link. Note that a Busa makes more torque at 300rpm than an R1 does at its peak @ 9000rpm.
