Next year's F1 engines will be producing more the 600 bhp from 1.6L engines so 200bhp + seems possible from 700cc for road going cars

[bednobs]

yes - my smart car had an engine smaller than that (ok a smart car is not a sports car, but it did 88 MPH easily, and a sports car it bound to be more streamlined and lighter)

[tonyav]

I know Milvus, I find it amazing that they seem to be able to get so much power from small engines these days.

I have to say of course small can be beautiful...at five foot nothing what else would I say?

I wouldn't want a small car....or smaller than I have because I seem to be always carting stuff and people around though that Honda looks good...

Now don't get too excited but...I have a new phone!...x

Power is inversely proportional to engine life, so if you are getting 200bhp from 500cc then the life of that engine is very limited. So have you 700cc runaround but don't expect many miles out of it.
