In Japan, the Lexus SC300/SC400/SC430 is called the Toyota Soarer.

I think if Japanese manufacturers would use 7-litre engines with the technology they put in their smaller engines, it would give more than fireworks.
Imagine that if they have 2-litre engines with, let's say, 250 bhp that they could get at least 800 bhp out of a big engine, without even pushing it too hard.
If they would put in some more technology, bigger/higher pressure turbos, or higher revs I wouldn't be surprised to see them getting way over 1000bhp.

Then the Bugatti Veyron would have some competition.

Actually they do. Nissan straight 6 RB26DET, VR35, Toyota straight 6 1JZGTE, 2JZGTE. ok I'm drawing a blank on the others, but I'm sure what ever Honda uses for the NSX, Mitsubishi for the EVOs, Subaru for their WRX STI. But I'm more of a Toyota and Nissan Girl 😊 keep in mind what most Japanese engines say on paper can be a lot more conservative then reality. Because of the "gentleman's agreement " of not making anything above 250hp. Take the 2JZ for example on paper it says 250hp which yes factory it is but the engines can make over 1000hp+ like most Japanese engines.
2JZ is Bulletproof and unkillable, the The Nissan engines are just as good the RB family can easily make 1000+hp, even Japanese 4 cylinders like the SR20DET and 4A-EG can make close to if not a little more then 500hp. Yes I'm a JDM girl theo still trying to learn about American V8s

I made a mental note when I saw the thread dredged up from the ether, and that was that one of the engines listed, the Nissan V35, was still some years off from production at the time of the preceding post.
