Brian Cooley runs down a list of the five brawniest four-cylinder engines in cars today.

  1. Top most powerful 4 cylinder ? In the USA only!!! Should be the title! Pleb.

    Uk got the evo fq400 2.0 inline 4 in 2004!
  2. Walk away from the auto industry and enter the motorcycle industry if you want to talk about HP per displacement. They've been cranking out over 200 hp out of 1.0 liter for some time now, without the aid of fancy direct injection, variable valve timing, or forced induction.
  3. why did this happen again? i already commented on another video(i think it was visios or something) that with a 4cyl TURBO engine it's hp/l means NOTHING. wanna see a k20 make 700hp? not very hard with FI, the f20c is of the few VERY high hp/l NA engines from factory, making 120hp/l
  4. 178 hp/l is nothing compared to what BMW was able to do with their M10 1.5L F1 Engine.

    They boosted a turbo charged 1.5 liter inline 4 to 1500hp. Thats 1000hp per Liter.
    It was a road car engine block, but I guess this doesn't count for this list^^
  5. SAAB 9000 2.3 turbo stock motor (bottom end) 480 hp with 2200.00 of bolt on. Total cost car + extras seats, paint, tires, rims. ect. 6200.00
  6. and a45 amg?
  7. you didn't include the sti
  8. new civic type r 310 2.0 4 cylinder 400 nm
  9. there is a video for 4 and 3 cylinders. what about v6 and higher?
  10. although it is more of a prototype car made for technological demonstration, the dodge m4s turbo interceptor had a 2.2L 4 cylinder bi-turbo engine that developped 440hp, that's 200hp/L, not bad for a car made in 1984
  11. I know this is from 2014 but 2017 Focus RS 2.3l 350HP 152HP/ liter
  12. Missed the MAZDASPEED3
  13. well the mitsubishi EVO IX MR edition can produce 400 hp out of a 2lt 4cl turbocharged engine, more than that merc and i am pretty sure a lot cheaper..
  14. bmw 228i
  15. PEUGEOT RCZ R AND PEUGEOT 308 GTI HAVE THE SAME 1.6 LT ENGINE WITH 270HP! MOST POWERFUL AND LITTLE ENGINE IN THE WORLD!!!!!
  16. ford focus rs will shit on all of these with its 350hp
  17. متخلف
  18. you missed the subaru wrx sti... Its a turbo FLAT 4 boxer engine lol... But its 4wd stil... ;)
  19. Where the hell is the sti
  20. GM is an awful company. Not because they make the worst cars, but because they make the most uninspired, 'same old monthly sex' type cars and are completely arrogant about it. They also ruined SAAB which is a damn shame.
