It'sa rumor we've been hearing about since the beginning of the decade;BMW's turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engines, yet up until now, theonly small capacity turbo unit we've seen from the Bavarian group isthe MINI's 1.6-liter engine that was co-developed with PSAPeugeot-Citroen. Now, Britain's Sky Motoring is reporting that BMW iswell ahead in the development of not only a 1.8-liter turbocharged fourpot, but also a smaller 1.3-liter 3-cylinder unit, both of which willbe available in the next generation 1- and 3-Series models.
Theauthor of the article does not state where he got the information from,but he does give out detailed output and torque figures for all thepossible variants of the two turbocharged engines. For example, the1.3-liter 3-cylinder engine is said to be offered in three guises with163, 201 and 241HP while the larger four-cylinder unit in two variantswith 273 and 321HP. That means that the 1.3L unit tops out at anamazing 185hp per liter while the 1.8L at 178HP per liter.| 歡迎光臨 公仔箱論壇 (http://5.39.217.77:8898/) | Powered by Discuz! 7.0.0 |
