that NBR dude Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) BMW M5?? over 500hp, from a 5.0litre V10edit - damn didnt read the no bigger than 2.0 bit Edited January 12, 2007 by Andy@NBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadChikken Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 (edited) Im pretty sure the top end Lotus Elise versions push out close to 200hp and are only a 1.6 or 1.8 engine! Considering how little the car weighs and how well it handles, thats a pretty damn awesome car all round if you ask me!Will have a hunt for info and post back...M@Edit: Ok so its not much of a saloon :$ 189bhp from a N/A 1.8 dohc engine is pretty damn impressive though!

OD404 Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Civics are built in Swindon, which makes them European in my eyes (or dual nationality?). On that note, any Honda using the K20a has 100bhp per litre from a 2 litre engine. So Civic type r's, Accord Euro r's etc all fit the bill, apart from maybe the European bit. But I think it depends on your point of view as to whether they are eligable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seats are fabricated in Thailand, but that don't pursuade people to think its Thai. Nope, Honda as a company needs to be european for it to stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 do you knojw of one that already exists bongo? or are we on some wild goose chase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 200bhp from a factory standard 2.0 n/a engine i would believe is pretty much impossible to find.Hell, 200bhp from any 2.0 engine n/a is hard enough to do even with extensive modifications.So really, unless you know one actually exists, this is a very wild goose chase.On a kind of related note, do throttle bodies count as n/a? I wouldn't think so, but if by some wierd idealism they do, then a 306 gti-6 with throttle bodies and cams gets you over 200, but as i said, thats non standard.

But it's not a wild goose chase lol.The goose is mildy tamed, with one leg, but you're blindfolded You sure? because civic type r is probably the only car that i know of that comes close to this and even then its 198bhp from 2.0l if there is a car i think its definitely going to be some 1 litre little car.. im not going to say smart car though but something along those lines.Leon FR 2.0L TFSi 200BHp ... i think bollocks... tfsi http://cars.rte.ie/usedcars/index.cfm?fuse...mp;carID=546446 Edited January 12, 2007 by Spacemunkee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
