A one litre turbo

[AlexD333]

Whats the world coming to eh, one of the techs at work got his car hit at ace cafe a little while back, so the insurance comp have provided him with a ford fiesta i think? (Some little Chinese engined hatchback)

I was shocked to find it was a 1l turbo engine

And pokey at that!! Certainly quicker than a terrano...

A tug of war game might end differently though :naughty

Blinkin emission legislation, engines are loosing any form of character.

I used to love my two stroke bikes.

What about this for a low emission engine...

Ford do a 3 cylinder 1.0 litre turbo fitted into focus and others. VAG have a 1.2 turbo too and I'm sure there will be others.

modern engines are great I think, I love the old engines, but find it hard to knock a 1 litre turbo engine that can give 60mpg and 90+ bhp (ECOBoost range of engines). Amazing really, but that's the result of emission legislation etc
