A friend of mine has the new twin turbo Porsche Macan, it also runs Adblu for the emissions and it's pretty quick too

They liked it on the 288 GTO, still regarded as one of the best drivers ferraris of all time and swapping hands at crazy money

It was a reduced volume 3.2 that came in at under 4.0 once multiplied by 1.4 to be eligible for GT Racing

They just haven't found the right turbo  :evilgrin: .  A variable displacement or variable geometry turbocharger set up correctly would match the feel of a normally aspirated engine.

Development in this area is still in its infancy.  Ferrari have every right to state what they have when you look at today's technology, but lets see in a few years how advances in turbocharger technology changes.
