The fast 4 cylinder engine on a production car.

Not the potential specs if modded, but the specs off of the production line

I was thinking like the RS200 or something.

I'm just curious

Delta S4 had about 20 or so more HP than the RS200 Evolution I believe, about 600 according to Wikipedia.

Surely the Evo X FQ400 is the most powerful on sale today?

Posted by: _Kevin_ May 12 2011, 12:49 PM

4a aren't the fastest I know from personal experience

Posted by: J.red May 12 2011, 01:29 PM

neither is the b16a, honda has much quicker 4's than that now.

No, it’s not some exotic niche supercar but a humble Dodge that holds the record for the “The Fastest Four Cylinder Production Car On The Planet.” The car was run by Salt Lake City’s Jorgen Moller, who pushed the heavily modified Dodge SRT-4 to a top speed of 222.416mph (357.934km/h). However for the official record the lesser figure of 221mph (355.66 km/) was used because the average of the two best runs are used in such records.

Posted by: _Kevin_ May 12 2011, 10:57 PM

So far Ben is winnar. That thing is pretty quick. Mkid is probably jelly.
is there anything faster? I wonder if top gear has done something like this?

Posted by: Helmasaur King May 12 2011, 11:53 PM

actually i won you mormon

Posted by: J.red May 13 2011, 02:29 AM

Lotus Exige gt3 is a 1.8L supercharged 4 banger. Makes something like 270 hp. So it's not as powerful, but it's just as quick as that evo. It's got a sub 4 second 0-60. (Different sources put it around 3.8-3.9) And it's top speed is 160mph (electronically limited)

Posted by: _Kevin_ May 13 2011, 02:34 AM

yea I was thinking the accel was primary and top speed was secondary

are Caterhams 4 cylinders? I know those are quick as all get out

Posted by: Ben.H May 13 2011, 02:56 AM

The Caterham R500 is still a 1.8l I4 I think, it's 'only' got 230bhp but it's probably the quickest car here to 60

Posted by: Helmasaur King May 13 2011, 03:10 AM

wow maybe you should buy a new engine

Posted by: _Kevin_ May 13 2011, 03:22 AM

then it maxes out at like 130 or something

Posted by: Faяaп. May 13 2011, 03:23 AM

Ey i dont get what it means by 'limited top speed'...

Isnt every engine pretty much 'limited'?? what exactly does it mean


Edit: i just read earlier post 'electronically limited' Whats the point in that?

Posted by: Ben.H May 13 2011, 03:29 AM

Well I know in Germany there's a law most performance cars have to be limited to 155mph, possibly for some other countries.

Posted by: _Kevin_ May 13 2011, 03:29 AM

some engines come with a limiter in them that restricts power output. I think safety is why they started doing it. some cars are capable of running in 130-150 range but they get restricted down 100ish. every engine has it's "limit" but a limiter restricts the engine output

at least I think. maybe Jred or Ben could give you a better answer

Posted by: J.red May 13 2011, 03:37 AM

It's not exactly somethign sold to people but. 1987 Oldsmobile Aerotech.
2.0L Inline 4 turbocharged. over 900hp. Designed by GM. It was only a concept car though.


edit: oh yeah, it went something like 270 mph...

Posted by: Helmasaur King May 13 2011, 03:47 AM
