2.0 V10 goodness - Andy - 11-30-2005

Apparently Connaught is about to release a 2.0 V10 300hp/274ft. lb car that weights 1700 lbs.

Looks like a cross between a Z8, the new M5 and a chevy cobalt. I'm not sure I like it.

The engine seems a bit overkill, 2.0 liter Supercharged V10 making 300 HP, you can get the same results without all that work, but i guess if you want to drop 100 Gs you dont want some little engine

that is a little engine. yes, easier ways to make that power, but while keeping the weight that low? i'd be curious to see the advantages of a 2.0 V10 versus a design with fewer cylinders.

as i understand it ususally low displacement engines of that many cylinders have the advantage of placing less stress on the main internal components like rods and cylinders compared to a 4 cylinder of the same size, because there are more cylinders to share the load.
- .RJ - 11-30-2005
And each component will be lighter.
I wonder if that thing is dry-sumped too..... that'd sit really damn low!

300 crank hp? Shit, there are naturally aspirated K-series pushing that much, although torque is nowhere near that high. Seems like there should be more power than 300 for a boosted 2-liter.

from the K? damn....what car is that available in.
with the V10, maybe they're going with a conservative tune to make future upgrades easier? i dunno.

Aftermarket of course Scotty, but there are some pretty impressive "bolt-on" dynos for the K

New Civic R? K20
- G.Irish - 12-01-2005
K20A = Integra Type-R (JDM) 217 hp
K20A2, K20Z1 = RSX-S 200-210 hp
K20Z3 = 2006 Civic Si 197* hp
*new SAE adjusted hp
There are some other K's but those are the most powerful of the 2-liters.
- Sijray21 - 12-01-2005
they're still FWD though. Although having that much torque in a rwd, light car also might be an issue.
i would like to test drive this v-10 2.0L interesting piece of machinery.
- G.Irish - 12-01-2005
Well, the Prototype Engineering guy has a kit to swap the K20 (or K24) into an Elise/Exige...
- Mike - 12-01-2005
F-series fo life! most powerful na 2.0L in the worrrrrrld!
- ScottyB - 12-01-2005
i'm an idiot G, at first i was thinking of the Rover K series engines. never mind, i can see how people could come close to 300 crank in a K20.
- Evan - 12-01-2005
I love me some high revving goodness, but 2.0L V10 is just retarded
now a 4.0L V10 spinning at 9500 RPM would be a different story.....
- REED - 12-01-2005
yeah 2 liters are what you measure soda in, not engines

thats why you need to force the displacement in, mewhahaha
- HAULN-SS - 12-01-2005
I'm pretty sure a 4 litre v10 would be equally as dumb.
- Evan - 12-01-2005
and Im pretty sure you're an idiot
