95% of cars in europe have engines smaller than 2 litres. 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.
