VW Concept A (R&T)

[MZ-N10]

Ok, but taking 8 hours to half way fill up your car is rediculas.

Still they were comparing a 3.5L 215 HP gasoline engine to a 1.4L 148 HP natural gas. Therefore I thought the comparison to a 1.3L 135 HP Wankel Rotary NA Engine was a more equal comparison.

And if natural gas is so good why does the VW need both a super charger and and turbo to get a meesly 148 HP?


Naturally aspirated Rotarys yes, supercharged no. My 12AT 1.2L makes 200HP with 200 Ft/lbs of torque. A little off from our VX's 215HP 230 Ft/lbs of torque, but close considering it is a small turbo running 8 psi boost.

technically speaking the 12a isnt considered 1.2, more like a 2.4L.

Nope, but Australia is a good source with crate engines running around $4K - $5K last I checked.
