i calculated it to be about 1.9 horsepower per liter, i was beat irl though, worlds first car was a 1 liter producing 0.9 HP for a power to liter ratio of 0.9
EDIT: nvm i just beat myself
power to liter ratio: 0.3 HP per liter

You know, you can achieve zero horsepower per liter by breaking the engine

Your engine is running rich in the second screenshot, so maybe that doesn't count either?

least it's running, better off rich versus knocking, because running rich won't kill an engine, but knock will
(also, are ya trying to make it not count since you can't beat me in terms of crapiness?)
also might aswell say, this is basically a 10.8 liter lawn mower engine

I'm actually asking exactly what's the point of pursuing something so arbitrary... I haven't tried 'beating' it because I don't see anything to beat.

i initially came across it accidentally while building a racecar, i then tuned it down afterwards to the final result

Kind of reminds me of how some players were finding game-breaking configurations when the
Hall Of Records started up.

That beats my 10 horsepower engine with 22 Cubic Inches. (A third of a liter)

You could lower your power even more by using pushrods, 2V per cylinder, and carburettors.

Yeah, well...not even knocking, need to work out why i didnt give it a 120x120mm bore stroke.
14.55L V12, 1,148,284LB/(hp/hour/) fuel consumption, thats the weight of 8 and a half challenger2 tanks in petrol every hour for 1horsepower.
So this 9.8HP beast (made in mutha russia!) would consume 11,253,183.2lb or 7,033,239.5L (just under 3 olympic sized swimming pools) of petrol to run every hour.
still better emissions than a volkswagen.
(anyone got any lua modifiers or something? I wanna play, I'm bored now).

Don't forget those production costs. $110 million to build the engine. (And, based on current Australian fuel prices and exchange rates with the US dollar, about US$6 million per hour to run it, although with that AKI rating, you could probably run the engine on No.4 fuel oil.)
