Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Most powerful engine in the world...

[Mike Fleischer (themightytoe]

Well

Not having the weight of say a Chevy LS9 engine....

640hp/1.5 ton car = 426 hp/ton

108920 hp/ 2300 ton engine = 47 hp/ton  (and that does not include the 
boat!)

Big power = lower efficiency ?  Hard to say since the application is so 
very different...

Mike
