Thread: New Nissan 3 cylinder 400hp 88lb engine :0

Nissan Unveils Revolutionary Engine to Complement Electric ZEOD RC Powerplant - Nissan Online Newsroom

"The incredibly small engine weighs only 40 kilograms (88 pounds) but produces an astonishing 400 horsepower. The base engine is only 500 mm tall x 400 mm long x 200 mm wide (19.68" x 15.74" x 7.78")."

This is the engine Nissan designed for their new ZEOD RC Le Mans race car. Not much info on it, but very impressive to say the least. Would love to see this thing go into production.

Tell me again why we dont have a modern day light powerful sentra se-r

Because production, you and I mean nothing to them anymore. Those days died with Datsun on a large scale.

At 88lbs I'll put one under the hood and in the trunk. Twin engine awd is the new hotness.

if this goes to production nissan will detune the crap out of this.

For some reason, I dislike when I agree with you Kyle.

"The new engine actually has a better power-to-weight ratio than the new engines to be used in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship this year."

That's impressive! Imagine a 6 cyl version....wow!

Do want

I would really like to see everything about this engine.. All the specs and a teardown video of it lol interested in how its getting so much power out of 3 cylinders and such a light engine... Put it in a 2k pound 2 seater... Thing will FLY, killing pretty much everything on the road lol
