The first is a 2.4 - liter, 182 - horsepower unit, while the second displaces 2.0 liters but
makes use of a turbocharger in order to push out a very respectable 260 horsepower.
A
natural use of the turbocharger — and its earliest known use for any internal combustion engine, starting with experimental installations in the 1920s — is with aircraft engines.
The
additional use of a turbocharger helps support relatively high engine loads with the short valve opening contour and the lower valve lifts, enabling the good efficiency of the EIVC - based process over a wider load range.
Thanks to cylinder shutdown and other clever tech, Mercedes has managed to deliver a claimed 31.0 mpg combined figure for the E 63, but if you make
use of those turbochargers liberally then you can forget getting anywhere near that.
This enabled the use of various octane fuels and also made
the use of the turbocharger safer for the engine.
It uses a 4.0 - litre engine which has been painstakingly tuned to 493bhp without
the use of turbochargers, for utterly instantaneous accelerator response and a 0 - 62mph time of 3.4 seconds.
The base model is the C300 4MATIC, and it features a 2.0 - liter, four - cylinder engine that makes
use of a turbocharger and direct injection to pump out 235 horsepower and 273 pound - feet of torque.
Similar to its more sophisticated big brother, the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR, the Lancer Ralliart squeezes power out of a 2 - liter four - cylinder engine through
the use of a turbocharger and variable valve timing, then puts it to the wheels that need it most with its advanced all - wheel - drive system.
The use of the turbocharger and intercooler also help boost power, while the variable timing control for both intake and exhaust cycles improves low - end engine response.
After massive success pioneering
the use of turbochargers during the first half of the 1970s, both in Can Am with the 917 and for road racing in the 911, Porsche had proven it could bring a reliable and capable turbocharged road car to market.
The 2015 MINI Cooper S is gifted with a 2.0 - liter, four - cylinder engine that makes
use of a turbocharger to produce 189 horses and up to 207 lb - ft of torque.
After massive success pioneering
the use of turbochargers during the first half of the 1970s in the 917 Can Am and 911 - based sports cars, Porsche had the knowhow to bring a reliable and capable turbocharged road car to market.
This result reveals a further Mercedes strategy for the future:
the use of turbochargers in small - displacement engines.
A tiny, 1.75 - liter 4 - cylinder engine sits behind the driver in the Alfa Romeo 4C, with
the use of a turbocharger squeezing 237 horsepower and 258 lb - ft of twist from its modest displacement.
The DIG ™ system helps improve combustion, enhancing power, torque, economy and emissions, while
the use of the turbocharger and intercooler helps boost power.
These units will be aimed at maximising fuel consumption whilst maintain suitable performance standards — especially through
the use of turbochargers.
In addition,
the use of a turbocharger with variable geometry enables the engine to deliver high torque at low revs: 170 Nm at 1,250 rpm and a maximum torque of 200 Nm at 1,500 rpm, all to the benefit of flexible running and pleasant driving.
