Nissan Reveals 400 hp three Cylinder Engine for LeMans Racer

[rdunk]

Almost unbelievable! A 400 hp auto type engine that weighs only 88 pounds, including turbocharger! Maybe some type of this engine will make it into the production cars at some point in the future.

Nissan and its motorsport partner NISMO have finally revealed the engine that will feature in its 2014 ZEOD RC electrified race car, which will compete in the Garage 56 experimental entry in this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. The engine is a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder putting out an incredible 400 horsepower, but what's more impressive is that the engine weighs just 88 pounds, which means a human is quite capable of carrying it (turbocharger and all), as NISMO chief Shoichi Miyatani demonstrates above.

That's some impressive numbers Rdunk.
Smaller is the way forward these days.
I'm still loving my 1.0 3 cylinder Eco-boost.
