And how much do they cost, when you also factor in the huge amounts of cash they would have spent on R&D. Pointless point is pointless.

You just can't compare race engines with production engines.

Fair point - AMG hatch runs race levels of boost to develop such massive figures - one wold hope they ve done their R&D and reliability goes past warranty period.
To be fair Ecoboost series of engines are not far behind technologically with much lower boost levels.
