According to Hartley, it makes about 400 horsepower @ 10,000 RPM and 245 ft-lbs torque @ 7500 RPM. I can only imagine what it would be like to drive around in a lightweight vehicle equipped with one of these babies. The Hartley Enterprises site has info on a Caterham Super Seven with one of these installed - I can only dream of driving such a beast. (The fact that I've lusted after a Super Seven since I saw my first episode of The Prisoner when I was a wee lad doesn't help a bit...)

Hm... I wonder what it would have been like to drop one of these into my old '65 TR4? The chassis would be unable to handle all that power, to be sure, but it would have been a blast to give it a whirl.
