All the V8 & V10 NA F1 cars used this style of FI.
I'm sure @ eric6 can attest that it is a better design, but he has already commented on why they chose to omit that option; and, their reasoning is very sound. |
Sure, but keep in mind they have big-time packaging issues that we don't have in the horizontal plane with not much restriction in the vertical plane. Pretty much the opposite restrictions of any front mounted engine. I'm sure there's a performance benefit, but considering we already have DI which is arguably better than any PI, I doubt we'd see much in the way of performance gains by going to those neat top mount injectors. Unfortunately, because they're cool as hell, lol
