These days, huge power doesn't necessarily have to come from an engine boasting huge displacement. Forced induction means you can have a much smaller engine producing the same, if not more power, than an 8.0-liter naturally aspirated V10. In fact, the most power-dense engine currently on sale is made in America, and it's smaller than the 3.4-liter twin-turbocharged V6 used in the Toyota Tundra.

The Most Power-Dense Engine In A Production Car Ever

There are a lot of factors that determine how much power an internal combustion engine makes, but the biggest is simply how fast it can consume fuel. This is true in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated drivetrains. While turbo or supercharged engines can get away with smaller displacements, because they force the fuel into the combustion chambers, the best way to make more ponies with air-breathers is to increase the cubic inches.

Debuting with descriptors such as "mind-bending," "like a freight train," and "next level," the new 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 has the chops (on paper) to be the most powerful Corvette ever assembled. Think non-electrified 1,000+ horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8, a top speed of over 215 mph, plus a cool homage to the 1963 Corvette Stingray—this new sports car is out to kick supercar butt and take names.

What Engine Was In The 1965 Pontiac Bonneville & Was It Considered A Luxury Car?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ll be aware that multi-million-dollar cars require eye-watering amounts of money just for simple maintenance and servicing, especially if it’s a Bugatti. Over the years, we’ve had many Bugatti owners tell us how insanely expensive it is to own a hypercar. While a 27-year-old recently claimed that his $4 million Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport Carbon goes a mere 62 miles on a full tank of fuel, renowned entrepreneur and influencer Manny Khoshbin has given a detailed account of the ownership cost of his Veyron in the past. He claimed that all fluids have to be changed each year, and that costs a whopping $25,000.

The owner of a $1.7 million Bugatti Veyron was shocked when the official service center quoted him $12,000 to replace a faulty door mirror switch. The clever owner took it to a supercar specialist who swapped it with an identical part from a Volkswagen van, which cost just $1.
