Respectfully, the idea that the number of cylinders in an automobile has a relationship to horsepower is NOT a good analogy... Let's consider a modern V-12 power plant say from a Bentley or Aston Martin. Now, let's compare that to a V-8 funny car or top fuel dragster. Or an F-1 motor.
Ridiculous comparison, yes? Of course, you need to take into account displacement, air/fuel delivery, torque delivered, etc. which are VERY different in the above examples... however the number of cylinders has little to do with ultimate power output but does have to do with HOW that power is delivered...
Happy listening.
