Because I also drive a VW Up! with a 59BHP engine (1.0 N/A) and I think the engine is too weak for the car. The issue isn't the peak power, but the torque curve. Small, naturally aspirated engines have very poor torque…
My concern with electric sports/performance cars is their weight over ICE cars. It ruins the characteristics of the car. You can add power to hide the weight of the car on a straight line, but in the corners the extra…
The issue here is that, in most cases, while engine downsizing tends to provide some decrease in emissions, fuel consumption isn't all that much better. If you look at the Fiat 0.9 Twinair 2 cyclinder engine real world…
> you cannot beat the roar and power curve of a combustion engine around a track or twisty road. Hopefully they'll go like horses - electric cars will take over point to point transport, while ICE-powered vehicles will…
I know that petrol and diesel contribute massively to the air quality issues we have in major cities like London (where I live and work), but as a car lover I'm also disappointed by this measure and what it would mean…
