Only works properly on zenvos and ls engines that have a twin turbo and supercharger setup

The Polo GTI with the 1.4 TSI is a nightmare. Especially in combination with the DSG transmission.

Mostly I was just saying that some of your power/liter figures weren’t that impressive compared to good NA cars. The Delta is the only really impressive figure, and it’s a race car. NA 2.4 V8 F1 engines were making around 800hp in 2013 (333hp/liter).

Yes, but I4 vs V8. Good points, though

Cylinder count matters much less than displacement. Current 1.6 V6 turbo F1 engines make 870+ hp.

Can’t really tell if the Polo’s a bad car but I’d definitely prefer the FiST. Even though the GTI got a 1.8t after the refresh without a suicidal timing chain.

My money is on cam less, sparkplugless supercharged hybrids thanks.

Or just electrics.

You could have just said Delta S4 and dropped the mic. All your other evidence is redundant.

Hydrogen, I think.

I feel like that requires a ton of infrastructure which we just don’t have. We’ve got high voltage mains running everywhere.

I can’t just leave it at a race car

I think the biggest enemy of electric is lithium. I could get behind it if they move to a much better material.

Yes, you can. You have so much to learn.

At least more common. Need more silicate/iron batteries.

Pfft. Pure figures can be achieved with turbos or Koenigseggs. Twincharging is about the nature of delivery, far more interesting and relevant than dumb ol’ horsepower.

But you get a pass for the Micra
