minus-squareKptnAutismus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 years agoV8s have a great sound, but americans have historically been very bad at getting any kind of fuel mileage out of them. downsizing would be an idea, you could technically make a 2-3 Liter V8, but then you have the complexity of two equally performing 4-cilynder engines. and especially ford doesn’t do mechanical complexity very well, look at the 1.0 ecoboost.
