How many production cars do you know of having that kind of power from the kind of motor even leaving aside the weight. NONE! And before you say it's a racing engine, no it is not a racing engine. As some else said, what better way to test an engine than running it at 100% for 24hrs straight. They're testing technology that will be put in road cars sooner rather than later. Even F1 cars are used to test technology for road cars. Flappy pedal gearbox, carbon ceramic brakes, carbon fiber chassis, tires, KERS... It's all thanks to racing so stop saying it's not impressive for a racing engine.

This is not a production motor either, its going in a race car and I'm will to bet its not running pump gas .
Honda boys have been making stupid power on less than 2.0L for many many years .
So maybe "impressive" may not been the right word . How about "its been done before" .
But hp/lbs it is awesome.
