Why High Specific Power ?
The following list is specific power of gasoline engines.
Although the displacements of these engines are differences more than
60 times, specific powers (power per displacement) are similar.

It means that the powers of larger engines or smaller engines
are similar with the technology of similar level.
What kind of engine is high specific power engine? The
following List is specific powers of S2000 and Fomular 1. These engines
generate higher specific power than the engines of the above.
