I remember learning of the bhp figures of the Tomcat’s and being amazed. I think those being considered you have to respect the bhp, reliability and economy that modern manufacturers can squeeze out of four cylinder engines these days, it makes me wonder what they could achieve without emission and economy restrictions.
@@jaysimpson6857 I have the tomcat turbo in gun metal grey with only 34k on the clock on an N reg. The car is running slight mods on 225bhp the weight to bhp ratio is superb though, I’ve left many a modern car for dust, only really got shown up once and that was a baby blue 20v fiat coupe turbo, I followed the car though and bought it 👍
Brilliant 😊 the gentleman with the lotus basically summed it up very well-----yes cars have grown quicker bigger and probably more efficient but since about 2010 to 12 cars seem to be less charamastic-----wonder if turbochargers were partially responsible----?.
Well done Adrian Flux for giving something back 👏🏻 I say that as someone who’s give you a few grand over the years and never claimed, nice to get something back 😉
The rover 2.0L tomcat turbo coupe was an unbelievable 90’s car
