CC to Cubic Inches Converter
Convert engine displacement between cubic centimetres (cc), litres and cubic inches (ci), with a conversion table and the classic American V8 sizes.
2.0 litres — 1,998 cc, or 122 cubic inches.
cc, litres and cubic inches
Displacement is the volume all pistons sweep in one stroke. Europe and Japan quote it in cubic centimetres or litres (1 L = 1,000 cc), the US muscle-car world in cubic inches: one cubic inch is exactly 2.54 cm × 2.54 cm × 2.54 cm = 16.387 cc.
Badges are rounded: a "2.0" is usually 1,984-1,998 cc, Ford's "5.0" Coyote is 4,951 cc (302 ci), and a "5.7 Hemi" is 5,654 cc (345 ci). For tax and racing classes the exact cc on the registration document counts.
Formulas
- 1 ci = 16.387064 cc · 1 cc = 0.0610237 ci
- 1 L = 1,000 cc = 61.0237 ci
