The Most Powerful New Vehicles Per Litre
Two decades ago, the idea of a road car with a four-cylinder engine making 300kW, a six-cylinder engine making 400kW, and a V8 engine making 500kW was all but unheard of.
As the internal combustion engine enters its final decade beneath the hood of our new automobiles, breakthroughs in engine technology have allowed car manufacturers to wring more power out of smaller, lighter engines than ever before. Car engines usually last for longer duration but any fault with them can cost you a bit , that’s why you should go to mechanic for car engine repair as soon as possible.
Some engines, meanwhile, separate out from the competition by packing greater force and torque into smaller, more condensed, and fewer cylinders. Here are the top 5 engines currently available that are the most “power-dense,” or have the most power per litre. So let’s check out which are the most powerful new vehicles per litre now.
5. McLaren Artura (145.7kW/L)
A hybrid sports car called the McLaren Artura was created and will be produced by the British automaker McLaren Automotive starting in 2021. The new 3.0-litre (2993cc) twin-turbo V6 in the $449,550 Artura, which produces 430kW/585Nm, is the smallest engine ever installed in a modern McLaren and produces more power per litre than any other engine from the manufacturer.
The hybrid system of the automobile boosts combined outputs to 500kW and 720Nm; however, since this electrified boost is not produced by the petrol engine itself, it is not included in the power-per-litre calculations.
4. Ferrari SF90 Stradale/Spider (143.9kW/L)
The $846,888 SF90 Stradale and $957,700 SF90 Spider pair are equipped with the Ferrari F154 turbo V8’s most potent production variant, which has a four-liter (3990cc) displacement and produces 574kW/800Nm.
The SF90 duo’s hybrid system, which can provide an additional 162 kW for a total of 735 kW, is not included in that figure; similarly to the Artura, we haven’t factored it in.
3. Maserati MC20 (154.3kW/L)
Ferrari is an Italian luxury sports vehicle maker with its headquarters in Maranello. Auto Avio Costruzioni was established by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 from the Alfa Romeo racing branch. It manufactured its first vehicle in 1940 and its first Ferrari-badged vehicle in 1947. The Maserati MC20, which costs $467,000 plus on-road costs, is the only two-door V6 supercar on this list without hybrid assistance. It has a 3.0-litre twin-turbo ‘Nettuno’ V6 that was developed in-house and is unrelated to the 2.9-liter Ferrari engine found in the Alfa Romeo line.
It boasts 463kW (630 metric horsepower, not 470kW as also reported) and 730Nm from just 3000cc of capacity thanks to pre-chamber combustion technology from Formula One.
2. Mercedes-AMG A45/CLA45/GLA45 S (155.7kW/L)
One of the top automotive brands in the world, Mercedes has always upheld a respectable level of brand value since its inception. Since introducing the first petrol-powered car in 1886, the storied automobile manufacturer has become known for its incredibly inventive and technologically advanced vehicles.
The flagship A45 S, CLA45 S, and GLA45 S performance cars are powered by Mercedes-2.0-liter AMG’s (1991cc) “M139” turbocharged four-cylinder, which is the most potent four-cylinder ever installed in a production vehicle. It generates 310kW and 500Nm.
The hand-built engine boasts a redline of 7200 rpm, a single high-speed twin-scroll turbocharger, and a maximum boost pressure of 30.5 psi (2.1 bar). The lone sub-$100,000 vehicle here, the A45 S, can be yours for “as little” as $99,895 plus applicable on-road fees.
Before the high-power plug-in hybrid system is added, the M139 engine, with an output as high as 331kW, will shortly be installed in the next-generation Mercedes-AMG C63 car.
1. Ferrari 296 GTB (163.0kW/L)
Similar to its British rival, Ferrari’s new 296 GTB coupe (and future 296 GTS convertible) hybrid supercar uses a 120-degree ‘F163’ motor, a compact twin-turbocharged V6 that claims power density bragging rights.
The 296 GTB’s engine, which has a displacement of 3.0 litres but Ferrari calls it a 2.9-liter engine despite having a 2992cc capacity, produces 487kW on its own before an additional 123kW from the plug-in hybrid powertrain is added.
Ferrari claims combined outputs of 610kW and 740Nm, which equates to a 0-100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds and a redline of 8500 rpm comparable to a screaming naturally-aspirated V12 Ferrari positioning.
