Or how about the old BRM H16 (two V8's on top of each other) F1 engine from the late 60's? Supercharged 1500cc (yes 1.5 litres!) with over 600bhp

Ah yes, the BRM H16 - there was an answer to a question no one asked! Total over-engineering just to show what we Brits could do (we used to have an Empire dontchaknow) even though everybody else did it faster, simpler and much much much more reliably. You could draw a parallel with the Tamiya Hotshot!
