Wife just purchased a Honda Civic, 1.5l turbo.
It does 0-62 mph in 6.7 seconds, what a V8 did 10 years ago. Puts out 180hp and heaps more torque than a Busa. The gas consumption is not far off a Gen3 which weighs less than a 1/4 in curb weight.
It comes with a 150,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty.
Simply looking at the duty in city driving the motor rarely goes over 2.000rpm and the transmission offers full 180hp from a standing start at full gas.
Hard to understand why motorcycle engine tech lags behind. Imagine the possibilities out of a 750cc turbo which has light duty in a bike weighing less than 600lbs.
