There's no replacement for dusplacement
Well, I guess that old saying can now be considered completely debunked. 525 HP and 442 lbft from 2300 rpm to 6000 rpm from just 2.5L. If that truly is a production ready engine that is expected to live a long and fruitful life on just standard maintenance, you can color me impressed.

Man, I wish FI guys would just give up. There is no replacement for displacement PERIOD. lol You all wet because a 2.5l turbocharged inline 5 made those numbers? Imagine if that inline 5 was a 2.7l..... There is no replacement for displacement. |

Audi with I5's are like Toyota's with I6's, can't be beat.
Nissan has the V6's, Ford and Chevy have the V8, etc etc

There's no replacement for displacement for epic idle sounds.

 It's an Audi. Nothing they've made is "production ready".  Audi, the only company that gives FIAT a good name.
