Why can no other country make engines as small and efficient

Didn't that thing blow up after the test or some shit?

>>15268169

did it

>>15268166
>Small
>Efficient
>American made engine

choose one.

>>15268166
Because other countries usually make engines that actually work.

Do you have a smaller more efficient engine to show the class anons

Japanese and European "Small" engines are behemoths by comparison.

>>15268470

seems to work just fine desu

>>15268562
Every engine design currently in use in modern automobiles was invented in Germany.

>>15268573

I'm not seeing a smaller more efficient engine anon

Also the Electric engine is scottish or hungarian.

>>15268573

The Wankel engine was invented in Germany, this however is not a Wankel engine, and was invented in Connecticut

You made a miniature wankel engine. Congratulations .

>>15268634
It is derived from a wankel design tho

>>15268648

It's a rotary engine sure, just a good one.

Unlike the wankel

Wankel was invented by Germany, Mazda were pretty the only company to give it a chance. Americans had absolutely no part in the development of the rotary.

>>15268870
As if the position of cam shafts was a new design, it's merely an improvement.

>>15268894
The X mini isn't a wankel.

>>15268894
If it was produced in Germany why do people call it a "Wankel" instead of a "Vahnkel"?

>>15269094
Because Americans cannot into German pronounciation.

>>15269097
Jeremy Clarkson called it a "Wankel" on Top Gear

>>15269104
>Because most English speakers cannot into German pronounciation.

>>15269094
If Mazda produces them in Japan, do they call them Wankers?

just like in 1980 GM said that rotary engines were the future and by 1995 85% of cars on the road would have rotary engines? USA spews alot of shit

>>15269829
Push both to 400hp on the same budget and see which one lasts

Yropoor/Weeb Definitions:

Strictly pertains to horsepower in relation to displacement

>17 seconds down the quarter mile with 700 horses

opinion discarded

>>15268887
and where in the rev range does it develop this 400hp?

Because anyone can build a 500 hp, 50 CI engine if it revs to 500,000,000 RPM.

There's barely if any french V8 though. Definitely not in production, biggest engine french still produce probably is a 2 liter 4 cylinder. And maybe a 3 liter V6 for racing purposes.

400 on a stock 5.0 block? not gonna last long

>>15271047
400hp on a stock 2.0l i4 isn't going to last long either.

>>15271062
Maybe not 400 but they make around 300 at the wheels without issues. That's around 350-360 at the crank. Probably about the same limit as the shitty 5.0

>>15271062
you are a retard
