Our friend who was racing that day (the black MG sports car in one of the images above) ran a standard 1.8 litre MG engine, but heavily modified, and was pulling nearly 200km/h on the main straight. MG's were never really known for their speed and power in standard trim.

The camshaft has been modified to allow higher revs...it now goes to 6000rpm. Triple Weber carburretors. A fancy exhaust system. Special block and pistons. So its kind of a granpa's axe kind of car.

I always find it amazing how petrol cars just keeps on improving and coming out with new stuff and technology despite the laws of science and physics can never change, I just don't get it at all, the principle and way how the way a piston engine works is still the same but cars just keep getting faster and faster with still good fuel efficiency.Quote from: "Zetsu"ac_cool
You can thank Electronic Control for much of these improvements. There's just so much a carburetor could do.
And the newest trend is small engines equipped with a turbo. Power when you need it, with efficiency when you don't. I expect to see more and more small displacement engines running a turbo in the future...

If you want power and economy, a small displacement gasoline engine fitted with a turbo is what you need! With a turbo, you'll have a nice torque range.
There are quite a few new vehicles made these days that offer this platform.

Turbos solve the problem of small engines lacking power and torque, and when not needed the turbo can spool back down ensuring economical operation. Commercial rigs like mine have used turbos for decades, just for this very reason.

I remember one time, a guy had a Pinto engine, in a Mercury Sable, with a turbo hooked to it, and MAN that thing would haul ass! A PINTO engine!
Latest I've heard, is this years newly redesigned Jeep Wrangler model, has 3 engine options. A V6, a 4 banger with turbo, and a diesel.
