1300cc but I'm sure they are bored out to nearly 1400cc. No the torque is still low down - midway but pulls strong all they way through the rev range and revs out at about 14k I think

That are 1300 but they can be taken to 1500cc. Caterham are currently playing with two of these engine spliced together sharing a common crank creating an extermly light weight and compact 2.6V8 with approximatly 350bhp. The beauty of this is it manages a reasonable amount of torque low down in the rev range.
