Which modern engine?

[voucht]

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

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

Chassis would be wider than the Menia Straight

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.
