is holding in his hands a 400 BHP, yep, engine that fits into carry in luggage restrictions. 40 kgs, or 88 lbs, can be carried by a reasonably strong person.
3 cylinders.
Quoting Jeremy - How do they do this?

They rev the hell out of it to get that hp out of a tiny engine

While the engine is technically too heavy to take as carry-on luggage on a plane, it would easily fit inside the luggage guides seen at major airports around the world.
Revving to 7,500 rpm, the Nissan DIG-T R produces 380 Nm of torque. At a ratio of 10 horsepower per kilogram, the new engine actually has a better power-to-weight ratio than the new engines to be used in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship this year.
With the entire concept of the Nissan ZEOD RC focusing heavily on downsizing and efficiency, Nissan turned to new lubricants partner Total to help develop the engine. The French lubricants manufacturer has worked closely with Nissan engineers to develop fuel and lubricants to maximize the potential of the engine.
