Did you know that Yamaha is producing a new SHO engine? Sorry, it's unrelated to our favorite Taurus engine... except that it is from Yamaha and they do brand it specifically as a "SHO".
The new SHO engine is 1.8 liter DOHC 4-cyliner, EFI, 4-stroke with a one-peice block and head, and is supercharged. It's the largest engine ever offered in a PWC and Yamaha claims it accelerates from 0-30 faster than a Corvette Z06 (it's been tested at 2.2 seconds).
Specific power figures are well over the >215 HP range.
