Rep Power: 0 i don't see honda bringing this motor here anytime soon, since it doesn't exactly fit into their line of clean high revving cars. maybe it's the motor for the next nsx replacement
i am pretty sure that motor is tune, otherwise, it won't have a mugen badge. in that case, there are other tuning companies other, who is as good, if not better than mugen. companies like sard/trd(denso supra, the jgtc mr-s), saleen, svt, mopar, signal, lingenfelter, hennessey (800+hp street legal vipertt), nismo, agp, atp(makes 300 - 400whp vw), ats(400-500rwhp toyota), ttc(is430), stillen, rmm(drifto gto) and many others
what i am trying to say is that mugen is not gospel, it's not god, and i respect mugen for pulling out a 600hp motor, but with money and resources, you can get 600hp out of anything. you guys seems almost like little girls on their first period because mugen put down 600hp on a v8

I love that orange Legend MAX. I wish they sold that here as the Legend still, the RL sounds so boring.
Horsepower: 590hp / 9500rpm
torque: 383lb/ft / 7500rpm
weight: 131kg
Holy cow. Sell that here!
hmmm, hopefully this will be the Dualnote replacement that was spoken of so many years ago that will comfortably seat 4...

Rep Power: 0 Lets face it Honda needs to produce a V8 to play with the big boys. There are too many markets they are not tapping into by holding back on the V8.

Rep Power: 0 You seem to be forgetting that the engine that Mugen put in there is their race engine, which is obviously in race-tune. In street-tune it wouldn't make anywhere near that amount of power, but I would suspect that a minimum of 400 HP wouldn't be too difficult for them to extract from that engine. In any case, that is still a Mugen engine, and there is definitely not a very good chance of that going into a production Honda. Honda will end up coming out with the own V8; but, let's just hope that it's as good as their hi-po 4-bangers.

They could just take two of those, siamese them, and have a 4.0L V8 that should easily make 400 HP. Although I've extremely simplified it, it IS entirely possible. I know! They could call it a K40A! A K-Series V8, lmao.

It'd do wonders for their R&D too, cuz they wouldn't have to spend all that much to design the new V8. I say they go with the K-Series V8.
