the frigen mclaren f1 makes 627 NA hp with a 6l v12 and you think a mb NA v8 can make it.
when have I said MB cant make an 100hp/l engine I said they won't.
its not MB heritage to make a high strung 600 hp v8.They have never came out with any engine near 100 hp/l STOCK and wont
Engine development has come a long way in the last 30 years. I would not put any limits on future engine development. The only thing keeping manufacturers from making well over 120 hp/liter on all production engines is friction and heat loss. Once we learn how to greatly reduce or eliminate friction and heat losses, the sky is the limit on hp.
