The base engine of that powerhouse the 09 Civic almost makes it with 75 HP/L and the hotter 2.0 in the Si makes almost 100 HP/L.

The Ford Escape's 3.0L V6 makes 240hp, exactly 80 HP/L.

80 HP/L is a hard figure to hit with 2 valves and push rods, but with 4 valves, DOHC and good VVT it is easy.

z06 comes close at about 72 (underrated a smidge)
