minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•2 years agoEngines. 300hp out of 2L is impressive. It scales even better. V8’s can put out insane numbers.
minus-squareassplodelinkfedilink7•2 years agoFor real, internal combustion engines are made way better than they used to be. Both in terms of reliability and power output. You can get a small, ICE only (non-hybrid) car that gets 40+ MPG. You can buy a new car with a warranty that makes over 800 horsepower. The IC engine is at its peak. Electric is the future, but the current crop of ICE are incredible machines.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoHa ha laughing in 1.6 litre WRC cars kicking out 500PS 😂
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoThe ICE is “only” outputting ~380hp, the rest is from the electric boost.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 years agoNo one is driving those past 100k miles with 10k maintenance intervals though.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years agoNot to mention the reliability is better now. Basic maintenance will get you over 100k easy with no major concerns
