The new turbocharged dry-sump type 910 engine produced 210 horsepower (157 kW) and 200 lb"ft (270 N"m) of torque. 0-60 mph could be achieved in 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of over 150 mph (240 km/h). These performance improvements were coupled to a redesign and strengthening of the chassis and rear suspension, where an upper link was added to alleviate strain on the driveshafts, along with brake improvements .
[1] Along with the SE, Lotus produced the little seen Esprit S, a midrange turbocharged car offering fewer appointments and 228 hp (170 kW), as well as the standard turbo still offering 215 hp (160 kW).
[1] Alongside V8 models was produced the GT3, a turbocharged 4 cylinder car with a 2.0 L chargecooled, turbocharged engine as used in Italian Italian market cars previously. In 1998 the V8 range was split into SE and GT specifications, both cars with a much changed interior configuration, both offering similar performance with the SE being the more luxurious of the two.
[1] In 1980 the first factory turbocharged Esprit was launched. Initially, this was another special edition model commemorating F1 ties and reflecting current sponsorhip, this time in the blue, red and chrome livery of Essex Petroleum, and is therefore known as the Essex Esprit.
[1] The Stratus R/T's turbocharged 2.4 L engine went through some improvements in 2001, when power was increased to 215 hp (160 kW). This improved engine would later be used in the U.S. in the Dodge SRT-4 and PT Cruiser GT.
[2] Stratus R/T models with the turbocharged engine could be recognized by a rear badge saying "Turbo".
[2] The twin turbo configuration was not compatible with left-hand drive vehicles. All turbocharged vehicles, both sedan and wagon, regardless of the country the vehicle was sold in were equipped with ABS and rear ventilated disc brakes as standard equipment.
[3] Turbocharged versions continued to be available in most non-US markets. Speciality touring and racing versions were available in Japan, as well as the DOHC 2 liter twin sequential turbocharged (EJ20H) version on both the Legacy RS sedan and wagon. The twin turbo can only be installed on right-hand drive vehicles because the turbo on the left side interferes with both the brake master cylinder and steering linkage, among other things.
[3] When the Legacy was first introduced February 1 February 1, 1989 in Japan, the Legacy came in the following trim levels: the Template:Convert/PS DOHC 2.0 liter turbocharged RS with a 5-speed manual transmission only, followed by the VZ sedan and wagon and the TZ sedan and wagon with the Template:Convert/PS DOHC 2.0 liter engine.
[3] In 1990, the Template:Convert/PS DOHC 2.0 liter turbocharged Legacy GT sedan/extended roof wagon was introduced, with a 4-speed computer controlled automatic transmission only on the GT sedan and a choice of automatic or manual transmission on the wagon, as well as the slightly more affordable RS type R turbocharged sedan.
[3] The DOHC 2.0 liter turbocharged turbocharged engine, which is a prized engine worldwide amongst Subaru enthuiasists, was introduced first in the Legacy and later used in the Impreza WRX Impreza WRX when that model was introduced in 1993.
[3] A continuous traction delivery system, called VTD by Subaru, was used with all JDM turbocharged vehicles with the automatic transmission. The VTD AWD system is a permanent AWD due to its 36% / 64% split. Some owners of the newly developed 2.5 engine for this generation have experienced leaking head gasket issues, which were addressed and much improved on the Third Generation models.
[3] On April 23 April 23, 1998 1998, a Generation III Subaru Legacy set a new world speed record for mass-produced turbocharged station wagons station wagons (1600 cc-2000 cc class), clocking 270.532 km/h (168.101 mph) over one kilometer on Highway 10 in La Junta, Colorado.
This record was previously set by a Generation II Subaru Legacy in 1993 at 249.981 km/h (155.331 mph).
[3] The turbocharged models with the manual transmission did not receive the Hill Holder option. Just before the introduction of the Legacy to the USA, three Japanese-spec Legacy RS turbo sedans were sent to the FIA test track in Phoenix, Arizona, where they were driven at an average speed of 138.8 mph (223.4 km/h) for almost 19 days, accumulating 100,000 km (62,138 miles) in that time, setting a new world record for land speed endurance, stopping only for fuel and routine service.
[3] Recent 3.0 L engines move close to the 2.0 L turbo output and share the Bilstein suspension. 2.0 L-engined turbocharged models with the Bilstein suspension were named either the GT-B (for wagons), or Spec B, or RSK-B4 (for sedans).
[3] Normally aspirated models received the gauge cluster from the earlier turbocharged BL Legacy, and turbocharged models were updated with the SI-Drive adaptive throttle system, and updated gauges, showing realtime fuel consumption. During MY 2005, Subaru introduced Active Valve Control System, or AVCS on both the 2.5 Flat-4 and 3.0 Flat-6 engines as standard equipment.
[3] European models have not featured a turbocharged gasoline engine due to emission standards, while RHD export markets initially received 2.0 liter engines derived from Japanese Domestic Market models, later updated to the 2.5 liter engine found on USDM Legacies.
[3] In 1992, the "LSi" was introduced on the wagon, alongside the newly introduced turbocharged "LE" Touring Wagon.
[3] Subaru has produced high performance versions of the Legacy with a Bilstein suspension and tuned turbocharged engines equivalent to the homologized rally version WRX STI (generating 205 kW (275 hp) on manufacturer's figures for the 2.0 L equivalent engine with manual transmission).
[3] The Legacys primary competitor with a turbocharged engine and AWD was the Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 VR-4.
[3] The chassis was redesigned and made stiffer, and it marked the return of a turbocharged engine to North American Legacies, featuring a 2.5 liter unit derived from that of the North American Impreza WRX STI. Due to advancements in turbocharger technology and tightening emission standards, the twin-turbo setup was dropped from the lineup.
[3] The JDM DOHC 2.0 liter non turbocharged engine had a dual stage intake manifold where at higher engine RPM's four individual valves would allow additional air flow into the engine from a secondary manifold attached and located underneath the primary intake manifold.
[3] Turbocharged models and the H6 offered Subaru's first 5-speed automatic transmission, featuring SportShift technology licensed from Prodrive, Ltd.

From 1986 to 1987, the 5.0 L Olds 307 V8 was available as an option. T-Type Regal coupes, aimed at the performance market, appeared at this time, but the real news came in 1982, when the Regal Grand National appeared. Named for the NASCAR Grand National racing series, this car incorporated a 4.1 L V6 with 125 hp (93 kW) or an optional 180 hp hp turbocharged 3.8 L V6. There was no Grand National in 1983, but it returned in 1984 wrapped in its familiar all black paint.
[4] The 1978 Regal was noteworthy, as it could be equipped with a 3.8 L Turbocharged V-6 engine.
[4] The only other turbocharged cars available in the U.S. market in 1978 were imports from Saab and the Porsche 930.
[4] The turbocharged 3.8 became standard and would continue to be refined with fuel injection and intercooling.
[4] As another first, Audi introduced a new high-torque, direct-injection, turbocharged diesel engine, the 90-hp 1.9 TDI. The standard 1.8 litre petrol engine of the B3 was discontinued; a two-litre, 90-hp, 4-cylinder petrol engine, a variation of the previously known 113-hp 2.0E engine, was now available for the base model.
[5] The S2 was initially available with a 2.2 L turbocharged engine which produced 220 hp (162kW) with later models producing 230 hp (169kw). It will do 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, continuing to a top speed of 246 km/h (154 mph).
[5] The Coup" Quattro is visually similar to the European only B4 bodystyle S2 model, but does not have that S2's turbocharged engine.
[5] The Audi RS2 Avant is fitted with a similar 2.2l turbocharged engine, producing 315 hp (234kW).
[5] The Vauxhall Astra VXR comes with less power - 240 bhp - but manages 0-62 mph in 6.5 s, whilst the SEAT Le"n Cupra (2.0 T-FSI with 236 bhp), Volvo C30 Volvo C30 (225 bhp 2.5-litre inline-5 turbo), and Mazdaspeed 3 (2.3-litre turbocharged engine with 256 bhp) also provide competition. [6] The straight-4 straight-4 20V 1.8 L turbocharged turbocharged petrol engine comes in two versions of power output: 210 bhp bhp and 225 bhp.
[6] The second generation Audi S3 is powered by a Volkswagen Group-sourced 265 PS (261 hp/195 kW) 2.0L Turbocharged FSI petrol engine.
[6] A turbocharged turbocharged version produced 150 PS (110 kW) and 210 Nm (155 ft"lbf. ) of torque. This technology was added to the V6 family in 1996, starting with the 2.8 L V6 30V, which now produced 193 PS (142 kW). Audi also debuted their new Tiptronic transmission on the B5 platform, based on the unit Porsche developed for their 964 -generation 911 911.
[7] The mid-engined two seat coupe sports a 2.0 L turbocharged turbocharged GM GM Ecotec engine producing 147 kW (197 hp/203 PS) at 5400 rpm.
[8] The engine lineup changed as the only two engines offered were the 232 in" (3.8 L) V6 and the 302 in" (5.0 L) V8. After its redesign in 1983, the Cougar remained mostly unchanged for 1984. The XR-7 returned and for the first time, its standard engine wasn't a V8 or V6, but a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Similar to the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, the XR-7 came only with the 145 hp (108 kW) 140 in" turbocharged I4.
[9] The turbocharged motor disappeared, and two models were sold, the LS with V6 or a V8, and the XR-7 with a standard V8 and luxury amenities as of old. This section overlaps with other sections; it should be combined with the rest of the article. Please post any comments on this issue on the talk page.
[9] The Cougar XR-7 continued to offer only the turbocharged I4, but it got a power increase to 155 hp (116 kW).
[9] The XR-7 changed by dropping the turbocharged I4, which Mercury felt was not keeping with the Cougar's heritage.
