Four performance classes

By varying the auxiliary equipment, our basic engines are available in four performance classes -100 bhp, 118 bhp, 155 bhp and 175 bhp. All engines deliver their peak torque at relatively low revs, and the torque remains high over a wide range of engine speeds.

So the driver's gear-changing work is minimised, since he has excellent tractive power at his command over a wide span of engine revs.

Although high top speeds and good acceleration from rest are important ingredients in high performance, good low-speed tractive power and swift overtaking acceleration are far more vital. And so is a high cruising speed, mile after mile.

The turbo engine offers the same acceleration and top speed of many six cylinder or eight cylinder engines, but without their inherent drawbacks of high weight, unwieldy bulk, many moving parts and high fuel consumption.
