Sorry for so many threads recently but I've finally figured out what it is I want to ask.

Which cars are there that have <2 litre engines that produce 150+bhp?

The Mini Cooper S is a 1.6 turbo which gives 175bhp, which I thought was quite impressive.
 
maybe rephrase that, what cars give the most performance(bhp per cc :)


the mazda rotaries must be nigh on top

Pretty much any FI petrol engine really.
 
Most F/I engines will have a fairly high specific output. Why the engine capacity is relevent or not to a car purchase is the question i would ask :)
 
My 1.8 Supercharged mazda which is 200bhp gave me 27mpg driven like a saint and about 7 if not.

My 1.8T 150bhp gives me about 37 - 39 if driven like a saint and about 7 - 10 if not.

Numerous Hondas with B16/B18 VTEC units.
Mitsibishi Colt CA/CJ models with 4G92 MIVEC engine.


Turbo............

Nissan S13 with CA18
 
Smaller engines won't always mean better mpg which i guess is what you're after? Look at japanese cars, the laws they have in place over there limit the size of the engine so the makers have to get inventive (thus the rotaries etc...). That still doesn't make them economic though.
