If the new car does turn out to be 2800lbs it would only need a minimum of 140BHp to be as fast as the old one in a straightline. Given that the engine is going to be direct injection, variable valve timing, all aluminum, with a short stroke, it should make 140BHP with a 1.6liter at a low rpm leaving room for more! It might not match the MPG of the old one even with a newer 1.6liter unless the body is very aerodynamic but it would be nice to not get a larger displacement for the successor. 2.0l is 25% bigger for 25% more weight but you would think it could make a lot more HP and even torque for a more modern engine.
Regardless, I am still watching the car. Everything I have seen is saying that Toyota wants this to be big and if 200BHP is big enough they won't settle for anything less.
Are you kidding? DI is going to be a royal pain to convert for E85. You can't just swap injectors :P those are expensive $$$
 unplug an injector. |
He saide ton
ne that's 1000kg, about 2200 lbs.
Edit: AE92 (? FWD...) GT-S made 130 bhp from 1.6L in the late 80's (small port, non-TVIS 4AGE). This car must drastically outperform that.
