    140-odd horsepower per-litre is certainly quite common in the two-wheeled world, but they rev. And rev. And need servicing every 4,000 miles. And North of 40,000 miles is considered fairly high. That thing doesn't look like 200 brake worth to me.

    Mind you, under "Specification" on the right, the output is given at 74 BHP. Is the lad confused, perchance? A lot of them mistake noise for power! :D

    It's only a 1L on the taxbook :)

    There's no way you'd put all that effort and expense into a rally mod (And it is a Rally car) to have 74BHP at the end. You couldn't even rally at that. You'd be in the same class as stock 1.0L Yaris. I well believe its far higher than stock and wouldn't be surprised if it was outputting 204BHP.

    200 brake per-litre is certainly quite possible in Group-A yokes, but not without a turbocharger the size of a toaster. You'd think he'd mention the ol' Garrett or RayJay in the list of goodies. ;)
