At first that sounds a bit ridiculous, but if you seriously consider the idea there's really no reason to not produce 4 cylinder turbo super cars.

600hp+ K20/24 engines are so well proven they can be built with daily driver reliability using off the shelf parts, and that's a Honda engine utilizing after-market engineering. Now, inject the developments passed down from F1 into those engines and I see no reason why they could not compete with a V8,V10 or V12. Superficially they may not be as cool as a V10, but in terms of performance there are potential significant weight savings.

Like I said Timpo, the benefit to a V10/12 is partially superficial, a turbo charged 4 cylinder can match the power output. Porsche used 4 cylinder engines with great success for years before moving to higher displacement engines, and now they're bringing the 4 cylinder back in the 2011 Boxster.
