However, it appears there is an additional requirement and additional limitation.
Additional requirement: The brain of your car must also believe you are under "race-track" like conditions with bursts of significant acceleration and deceleration.
Additional limitation: The system can not work for an extended period of time. Doesn't sound great. You can't have your cake (low displacement, lower cost, great fuel efficiency) and eat it too (NA throttle response). It's very likely going to be all about software! Surprise, surprise. What happens when cruising very mellow for many miles/minutes (no near term track/racing style driving history) and then you simply want to gun it for some fun or to face a challenger. Will this be lag-o-rama? It sounds like it will be to me. However, very clever software may help. Not sure how such instant on demand could be predicted though... |
Only time (and "real" driving) will tell how the S55 feels.
But to me, the Alpina B3 review from Chris Harris was interesting as that indicates a very responsive throttle on a car with the N55, twin turbo's and NO anti lag
