Which engine do you rate as superior ? What is your order
1. Big displacement naturally aspirated
2. Small displacement turbocharged
3. Hybrid electric / petrol
4. EV
5. The Wankel engine
I’d say the order above is correct, a big displacement engine means more effortless torque, simpler in design and better longevity, the sound of a big displacement engine can’t be beat.
A small displacement turbo is good but won’t have the instant response of the big displacement engine. Plus more heat related stress issues which impact longevity, not as consistent as a big displacement engine in its delivery
hybrid electric are getting better.. they can boost the bottom end response a bit but clunky in operation with car on off all the time which is silly
EV is a complete basket case, shocker, poor range, catch fire, no charging infrastructure, inconvenient to wait hours and hours to charge, expensive to buy, batteries degrade, heavy and crap to drive .
the Wankel engine was a good design but just too inefficient and made poor torque for its fuel usage
I’d say I’m not sure about position 4 and 5 above, the. Wankel engine could be better than EV
