turbo

Liverpool BID Company, which manages Accommodation BID, said the levy would "turbo charge" the city's tourism and visitor economy when it comes into force in June.

The new rules for next year retain 1.6-litre turbo hybrid engines but with a simplified architecture while increasing the proportion of power supplied by the electrical part of the engine to about 50% from the current 20%, and running on sustainable fuels.

There’s a green 1979 Mercedes 300SD Turbo Diesel in the corner, sitting next to a rust-orange vintage Mustang.

These continue with 1.6-litre turbo hybrid engines, but with the electrical component providing close to 50% of the total power output, as opposed to about 20% now.

A V8, with or without a turbo, and hybrid in the region of 20-30% seems like a reasonable-guess possible compromise as things stand.
