Turbo technology has gone a long way since the F40 days, besides the sequential turbo days, the current VNT system as well as standby-electric turbo system (keeping the turbine spinning during off boost period) has significantly reduced turbo lag.
But then again it may not be useful to mate a turbo system to a 10,000 rpm engine, as the turbo might only have efficiency between 8,000~10,000rpm range, and the Engineer might need to reduce the compression ratio to compensate for the turbo which is self-defeating for such a high rev engine. Eventually even Ferrari engine will need to go down the direct injection route (they probably already have such system in place), as it is the only viable way to get very high compression ratio + force induction with minimum pinking. |
