looks fucking mighty. Now - where did I put that spare £100,000 :(

[Oli-VTR]

how do you run a turbo and a supercharger? surely one has to come first?

Is not hard called compound charging,
Been about for many years,
A few production cars seem to be using it now,
I'm guessing the turbo is quite large and the s/c makes up the low end and helps spool up.

Jet turbines are out then? Doing what they did with the xj220 here :(

[L33h]

Absolute beast

typo my bad :D

[Manu]

Hmmmm, what's the cost in the long run, batteries, spare parts etc? The xj220 didn't go that far.

Anyone with 900k to spend on a 'super car' really shouldn't be bothered by running costs.

Therefore why would they choose a 4 pot 1.6 engine when they can have a growling V8/V10? :P

Give it a few more years and V10's will no longer exist and V8's will be on their way out. Just like the V12's are now.

Sad day for the petrol head..

[Ross]

it's all about being green @ 200mph, y0.

There was a racing AX Sport years ago that was compound charged, and produced 420bhp out a 1294cc engine :)

And what looks like tinfoil... :bored:

[GAS_7]

Could probably cook an egg on that mani glow!

[Mike-]

1.6 you say?...


...Brb!

[m4tt274]

amazing how technology has come on.
they can make 500bhp from a 2.0 and have done for years. Cosworth YB for example. But they dont last long and emissions are crazy. This i assume will be economical (ish) quiet and relatively green.

[Mr_X]

Will this finally put an end to all the what is the fasted 1.6 threads?

[yr51ocw]

seen one of these in the flesh a couple of weeks ago, and they look very impressive.

The autocar advert is full of BS though.

[blackie_2k5]

Tarbo powah

[cruze]

there was a mk1 fiesta xr2 a few years back running a turbo and blower with nitrous on a 1.6 kent engine

SO a new age one.... OOOOOFT fucking love Jags.

Need an XKR in my life.

[m4tt274]

i will probably get shot down, but i prefer the look of the older jag tbh.
dont really like much modern styling, there are exceptions but mostly, modern supercar design has all gone a bit weird for me.
