Which modern engine?
 

Hi everyone,

I'd like to make a survey:

- if emissions and fuel consumption were a main concern,
- if our Roadsters would have to comply with, let's say, euro 5-6 regulations,
- and assuming that you could adapt a RWD gearbox to the engine,

Which engine, and from which very recent car (brand and model), would you chose for your Raodster?

Thanks.

For budget range I'd go for either a Renault Clio 197 or a Ford Fiesta St
If budget/technicalities/physicalities were no option then I'd go for A Nissan GTR

1800 ford diesel ,simplicity no hassle just change wet belt for chain !

ford 1L ecoboost?

The new civic type r motor.

Assuming budget not an issue and living in fantasy land Bentley W12 :D

Chassis would be wider than the Menia Straight :p

I'd have to go for one of the Ford Ecoboost engines Sylvain. Probably a 1.6 version although the smaller capacity ones do seem very attractive at higher power outputs

We have an ex-student who test drives for Bentley, and he called in with a W12 last week, it was wicked.
