I think the 1.8 is the smallest USA engine by MB. They make smaller ones for Europe.
It’s also insight into how an engine that small, secured by only three (I think) motor mounts could launch through the safety-required collapsible front end if a front corner hit something like a tree at a high enough speed.
The new F1 racing engines are about 98 cubic inches and thought to produce 600-700 or more horsepower.
Several manufacturers sell cars here that have 2 liter engines making around 275 horsepower.
Thank you, didn’t mean to hijack the thread. Only think I’ve ever owned are 260s, 289s, 302s and 351s. I simply can’t think that small.
keeping the thread BUMPED!
