That is interesting. But it seems like there are so many more places for the engine to fail mechanically. I guess that is why we have engineers to sort it all out.

I'll believe it once it reaches production. Saab had prototypes years ago only to have GM mess them up and kill the brand.
In theory the variable compression turbo engine with a CVT is the best of the ICE packages, we'll see how it is in reality. |
