The 2006 Dodge Viper has an 8.3 litre all-aluminium motor that works
with ten cylinders. The engine has the power to produce 500
horsepower's and about 525 pounds of torque. It also has a six speed
manual transmission. Wow, talk about being packed with a punch. Now
there is no more need to convince you about how great this car is.


60 bhp per litre. The same as a '64 Mini Cooper S. Just what you'd expect
from a modern truck engine. Proper sports car engines manage over 100 bhp
per litre.

Well racing car engines possibly. Not many road tuned cars will do it.
