The FIA has put a new V8 engine impostion so that all teams must go to a V8 engine by the start of that season. Honda is in F1 so you are looking at a prototype pretty much of the engine they will be using. It will probably get about 900hp in the F1 car....and torque isnt important in those little fuckers. 
EDIT: I just read that BMW will be using the V8 block from the new M5 for their team...500cid...500hp

thats cool. However, for the others, if I had a $1 for every license plate that I've seen on the back of an import that was some variation of v8 being shitty, I'd be rich.
