I said I'd post a link, so here it is, 2000 ccs less than a corvette, 90 more horsepower.

if only they'd sell that...

 

It's all Mugen, so probably not, though that would be a beast and a ton of fun to drive. That thing would trounce just about anything on the road. Corvettes got nothing on this baby. :D

 

Rumors in the Honda camp say that this could be the GM engine that Honda and GM bargained.

Honda made an engine for Saturn (I'm not sure, but I heard it's in the VUE) and GM sold Honda an 8 cylinder...

This is all rumors and speculation of course.

 

$$??

 

wtf, that makes absolutely no damn sense. Why would Honda need to get an engine from GM? Not that GM V-8s are bad, but considering that the F20C is way more sophisticated than any production engine GM has ever built, Honda engineers could probably figure out how to build their own V-8.

Maybe this is the engine that the new NSX will use? I still think Honda should make a V-12 for the new NSX. I mean they only sell like 20 of them a year anyway, so they might as well go all out.

 

dones't make sence for honda to use a GM engine as they know how to make engines and they do make reliable ones...

 

This engine is not made by Honda or GM. It is my by Mugen, a performance company working with Honda(you all knew that, but I still felt the need to say it :D ) This would be plenty good for the NSX, I can't imagine another car on the road that would be faster than it!?!?! With Honda's engineering, this beast would beat up on Ferrari's and Lamborghini's as much as the last one :p I hope to see this engine in a production car, but I really don't see it happening. I can still dream.

Edit: About the GM comment, if GM built this engine, they would have used it in one of their cars a.k.a. the corvette.

 

Mugen is a tuner, not an auto manufacturer, or engine manufacturer for that matter. They make their work from tuning.

That would be like saying Mazdaspeed made an engine...it doesn't make sense.

Nor does the GM thing, but it's all food for thought.

 

drool

 

I'm pretty positive Mugen made this engine. I know they are a tuner group, but I definitely read they built it. I'll try and find the article and post it.

 

Alright, I can't seem to find the article I was reading, but I know for a fact Mugen makes formula engines, and this is one of their engines...not Honda's or GM's.

 

I think it is a Mugen engine too. I read this in one of the links you posted....
and

 

Maybe the articles I posted are where I should have looked for the information. I am an idiot haha. :D Thanks for the eye opener BlueEyes. I was seriously googling for 10 minutes and I had already posted them. Jeesh. :p
