I know mugen released a 4.0 liter endurance racing V8 a few years ago. And Acura is also entering ALMS endurance racing next year with a similar V8. I think on [VTEC.net](http://VTEC.net) the rumor mill said a version stroked out to 4.5 liters for street duty would probably be the first thing we’d see on the road. Bout time they got away from V6’s. ---

Honda/Acura usually their “performance” engines make 100hp per liter from the factory :hsdance: I know seriously, I heard the new V8 is so good they engineered all the torque right out of the damn thing so you don’t have to worry about wheelspin. :kekegay:
