i.e. the Ford has a better hp/displacement ratio than the BMW

This looks like it's going to be an awesome car. Too bad it's not a V8.
Even with the added weight, I wonder if it's going to be quicker than a mustang gt? (well you know Ford wont let that happen)...

BMW has been making 100hp + per liter N/A from the 80's and some 500hp per liter in formula one. The BMW 335i engine example is actually a total misunderstanding, BMW made that engine like that to be good on gas mileage and emissions, they could produce a street version of around 150-160hp/l without breaking a sweat. By the way, the N54 owners are putting close to 300whp stock(298whp per motorweek magazine on a dynojet), the engine makes aproximately 115hp/l with tiny turbos..
