UMmmmmmmm sounds good when i drove a 250hp turbo charged road car it was so hard to keep an even speed slight twich on load padel and hey pressto horizon is here now. gearing would be high and only just in power band to get crurising mpg. read an article writtern by david visard in late about small turbo charged engines in big cars. thirty years later is now becoming common place in europe. 1.6 petrol engines can now give a sirrea cosworth a thrashing while being easy to drive in the city. other 1.6 engines with turbos are tuned for mpg. emissons are so low that we in uk pay virtually no road tax. what will the next 30 years bring us ?
