clio 197?

 

Ferrari 360cs

The 360CS made 425bhp from 3.6 litres not under 2 litre

 

Honda K20A2 (UK) - 98.5 BHP / L - Civic Type R

Honda K20A (JDM) - 110 BHP / L - Civic Type R (Japanese)

Honda B16B - 116 BHP / L - EK9 Civic Type R

 

 

Honda F20 - 120 BHP / L - S2000 the s2000 has to be the best production bhp per litre car out there me thinks

 

the Caterham R500 has 128 bhp/litre

 

911 gt3 115bhp per litre but obviously not under 2 litre

Ariel Atom?

 

EDIT - yep 1998cc - 220bhp - not strictly a production car though i spose

[veedub 0]

How long has honda been european?? :lol:

 

I think the Clio is the best shot - I was thinking french too!

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

arial atom is and isn't surely as they are hand built race spec cars not really a full on mass production

 

another interesting engine i just though of it the celica 1.8vvti is that a turbo as its got 190bhp if so no worries

 

scrap all this veedub just said european i forgot that sorry

[saysomestuff 0]

lol just edited my post as you were writing yours

[Louie Lungbubble 0]

The Celica 190 aint turbo'd but also ain't European either

 

EDIT- D'oh!

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

its a hard question really as i cant think of a european 100bhp per litre being under 2000cc

 

theres loads over it ferrari 360cs 911 gt3, bmw m3 m5 or rs4 just does it i think

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

ah what about the racing puma whats the bhp on them? just checked dont worry

 

not included in the comp but the BMW 320d, the D3 has 100bhp per litre

 

edit: mini cooper S does it but its not n/a

[Blue_Joe 0]

The Lotus Exige in standard form (not the Exige S as it's supercharged) is 190bhp, not quite but almost the 200bhp level. But that is from a 1796cc Engine. Therefore it does break the 100bhp per litre at 105.8bhp per litre!

[Lippy 0]

sure there will be some cosworth engines knocking about, depends on them being NA rather than FI

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

you could be picky with the exige as that has the toyota engine in

[Blue_Joe 0]

But its a european car!

[Storm Monkey 0]

Loads of the Niche market cars like Caterham and Tiger, or any other tuned bike engined car, but not exactly mass produced. The closest is probably the Caterham superlite, @ 210 BHP from a 2.0 duratech, so 105 bhp/l and at 500kg, 420bhp/ton

[Blue_Joe 0]

But as you say it's not really a "production" car!

 

I cant think of anything that tops the exige that comes into production bracket. And even the Exige is pushing the boundaries of production!

[chubbybrown 0]

How much is in a 1.8 celica T sport?

[steve_16v 0]

They may not be mass produced but Caterhams (factory built ones) and Lotus's are still classed as production cars, in fact the Caterham R500 held the Autocar 0-100-0 mph production car world record in 2004. That has 230bhp from a n/a rover 1.8 k-series engine (128bhp per litre!).

[iow_corrado_g60 0]

ive already said it the 197 clio its the closest
