This is because of the high taxation on fuel which has forced manufacturers to produce smaller and smaller engines which are more efficient and cleaner. My Citroen Xantia is a 1997cc direct-injection turbo-diesel. It puts out 110bhp and 250Nm of torque at 3000rpm. It also does more than 50mpg and is in the cleanest emissions bracket for road-tax. Some larger executive saloons go up to 2.5 or 3 litre petrols (ex Vauxhall/Opel Omega), but to find 4 litres or above you have to start looking at special cars like TVR or large off-roaders. The sound of a rumbling V8 is extremely rare on British roads! By comparison to most cars, the DeLorean is noisy. Martin [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
