Renault and have consistently (in modern times anyway) squeezed a lot of horses out of engines by turbo charging them to near death and if I recall correctly, (where's lynx when you really need him?) Honda even turbo charged a motorcycle in the late seventies.
When Mercedes want their road cars to go quicker, they just shoe-horn ever increasing capacity engines into their cars.
Now I know that F1 development isn't remotely similar to that of the road car, but there's got to be something in that small engine block knowledge, no?
