It'll sounds like a 1L corsa! Where do I sign!?

I wonder off they'll make a single cylinder 1 series with all the bits left over :-(

It might sound ok. The 3 cylinder petrol sounds like a mini V8.

I don't trust the report anyway. I can't take any website that looks that shit seriously.

If you look for the fleet emissions regulations the manufacturers have the adhere to to sell vehicles in the EU without suffering 8 figure fines then this effort looks very prudent. 95g/km for 2020, 68-78g/km for 2025. Good luck to them.

I think we'll be seeing a lot more of these 3cylinder engines. Been looking for a new Ford for the mrs, and they do a 7seater Grand C-Max, which comes with a 1 litre 3cylinder petrol engine! Sounds crazy, but the figures look impressive...

I actually love the engine sound of my wife's VW Up!
