ENGINES THAT IMPACT THE COMPACT PERFORMANCE MARKET


ENGINES THAT IMPACT THE COMPACT PERFORMANCE MARKET - From SEMA News

"We have compiled data outlining the production and availability of engines that will be offered on popular compact performance models. These typically include four- and six-cylinder types rated under 3.0L. Some exceptions exist, but these represent the most common engines on the market for this segment. Along with basic specs, the table below includes volumes produced in 2006 and 2007 to help SEMA members gauge the size of the market. We have also listed related vehicles that share similar versions of the base unit." "Likewise, high-volume engines, such as the Honda K24A (I4), BMW N52 (I6) and General Motors LE5 (I4) are being produced in large quantities. Some cars might not possess the desirability of a Toyota Supra or Nissan Skyline GT-R, but they do have market potential solely based on their availability."

Funny they mention the Toyota Supra and Nissan Skyline GT-R. One never available in the US. One last sold 10 years ago in the US.
