The 620R develops 310bhp - that means 542 brake horsepower per tonne - that's freaking awesome! Not quite Bugatti Chiron territory (750php/tonne), but "Mon Dieu".

I find the Saloon at 50 mph in traffic is exciting enough - I will leave the hot rods to the daredevils !

Cheers, Tony.
The 3 cylinder Suzuki engine is an absolute jewel...a bit too powerful for an Ulster Special methinks!

I always wondered about the little 3 pot 800cc motor out of a Daewoo Matiz. Develops 52bhp. Plenty of them about in scrap yards and the engine is a simple single point injection lump without turbo. Our family hand me down Matiz finally went to the breaker as a trade in, with over 100K miles on the clock. Was still going strong.
