Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What was the Japanese "Gentlemen's Agreement"?
An informal agreement among Japanese automobile manufacturers from 1989 to 2004 limiting advertised horsepower to 276 HP (280 PS) for safety reasons, although actual production output often exceeded this threshold.
Can I filter engines by displacement, aspiration, and valvetrain?
Yes. Use the interactive filters above to sort by manufacturer, cylinder layout, turbocharging, and horsepower ratings.
