It's a modernized, more batshit insane spiritual successor to the cobra. The cobra was like 7L. In a fucking tiny car. It's only fitting to have batshit insane displacement in its successor. Also

Well if you want 600+ naturally aspirated hp you're gonna need a lot of displacement.

Europoors aren't meant to understand this. Also semi truck engines are usually at least 12 or 13 liters.

77hp per litre isn't a whole lot even for NA if you think about it. Does displacement get diminishing returns?

>>14195083
Yes, yes it does get diminishing returns.
>hp/fucking liter again
>people besides hondatards thinking it has ever been relevant

Pushrod engines can't rev as high as ohc engines. In order to make power they need larger displacement. The actual size of the engine isn't all that huge. Since the cam is in the block the heads are smaller allowing the Viper to have a low hood.

You should keep in mind the engine can make more power. It's under tuned for reliability. Viper engines can handle 1,000 HP with stock internals.

>>14195409
Very much this. If you have the money it's really not that hard to grab a LS and put out 1000+ hp. Putting out high horsepower on an engine that will survive more than one season of track days is really hard.

The vipers engine is tuned DOWN
1) To actually solve its power delivery issues
2) Asshurt Italians
LETS not forget that dodge is owned by fiat, who also owns Ferrari. Think about how asshurt the snobs at Ferrari would be if a 100k american car BTFO the F12 Berlinetta and costs 1/4th the price? They had to preserve the status of Ferrari, just like Chebby and not letting anything progress farther than the corvette in performance.

This. An ls/lt1 weighs less and is actually smaller than the total volume/weight of most turbo setups like the gtrs.

A dohc coyote is fuck all HUGE and its only 5 liters.

So displacement is irrelevant, especially when ohv are far more reliable, lighter, smaller

>>14196789

The 16.4 refers to the 16 cylinders and 4 turbos. The displacement is 8 liters.

>>14196180
Yes but the displacement is bolstered by 4 turbos meaning its "real" volume is a a lot higher than 8L

Having driven 911s and 458s I can't in all honestly say the same.

TORQUE motherfucker

600hp from 6 liters and 600hp from 10 liters are completely different, the torque-bands and power-bands are going to be completely different. They might produce the same hp but the bigger engine will do it at a much lower rpm's with way more torque.

It actually has nothing to do with displacement. It's all about the cam profile, length of intake and exhaust runners, and ratio of piston bore to stroke. That's why my friend's 1.4L runs out of steam at roughly the same rpm that my 2.0L wakes up and realizes it's supposed to do something.

>>14198143
You are correct but that is in SAE gross measurements. I attempted to convert it to SAE net.

>>14198180
My favourite part is that the engine is longitudinally mounted.

>>14196979
I'm sorry, volumetric efficiency is higher than 8L of displacement compared to a non turbo 8L. Maybe I'm saying the wrong things here, or using the wrong wording. In essence, a turbo makes up for lack of displacement by forcing more air into a cylinder to increase its power output. The volume of the CC does not change so I guess I'm looking for the volumetric efficiency...

>>14198101
That's a toronado....

Related yes, but not a caddy

>>14198327
Wut? Displacement definitely factors into a torque figure dingus. Yes, your intake/exhaust being harmonically tuned for the engine will make more hp/tq, but all a cam is going to do is change when and where the power and what kind of power is made. Look at how a cam swap can gain you a ton of HP on the top end or lots of torque down low, or a compromise of the two with a more middling pb and grind but it will not give you both. However, keep the flow numbers on the heads, the cam grind, and every other dimension identical except bore and see if you don't make more torque and hp. Larger displacement engines make more power naturally by being bigger than smalls engines because if what you said is true, a super cam and head setup will get a Nissan 5.6 V8 to the same power and torque level as a 7.0L Hemi V8.

If you want torque, stroke it. If you want power, spin it really fast.

Displacement, cylinder count/arrangement/hippie efficiency shit, all come after the former two factors are considered.

>>14202794

the early iron protos were based on the big block and it was sent to lambirghini to be made out of aluminium and they redesigned it

>>14195083
Probably on from the sheer weight of the rotating assembly. It's hard to compare apples to apples because bigger engines can usually have taller or wider cylinder heads and get more optimal flow into the combustion chambers, making them more effective at gaining HP per cubic inch.
I make 775bhp without power adders on a 385 series Ford block stroked and bored to 521ci

>>14206256
Akchewally it was based on the small block, otherwise youve pretty much got it

Lambogini worked on casting the block in aluminum, removing weight from the crank, and the cooling system. All under the watch of Chrysler engineers who were working on everything else on the engine.
