... and then there are those who run around with Turbocharged Hayabusa engines. Quite how an engine that physically small and light can kick out 300 BHP boggles the mind.

If you don't like that idea you'll probably like this one instead: http://www.sevenbuilder.com/id/83/v8-caterham-rst-v8-in-a-seven/

The 2.0-litre RST-V8 engine is a lightweight, high-revving, 4 cam, 5 valve per cylinder all alloy V8, featuring bespoke components, with the exception of the cylinder head castings, which are basically modified production parts. The road version revs to 10,500rpm and the race version revs in excess of 12,500rpm, producing upwards of 380bhp. Maximum torque is around 190lbs/ft at 7,800rpm.

Hmm. flat plane 2.0 V8 that revs to 12k?

Yep. we've got plenty to thank bike technology for.
