You could probably buy a loaded BMW 3 series for the same price as that thing
It's actually a Honda iQ that they modified

Middle class's pocketbook is fricked if they put super stringent pollution control devices on cars.

They obviously weren't paying attention to Ford and the ecoboost engines

I think the largest engine Ferrari has put in a car in the last 40 years is 5.0 liters.

The F12 is 6.3

Had a 2017 Expedition with the 3.5 ecoboost as a rental. I was getting 16-17 mpg. Also had a 2015 Tahoe that got just as good or better mpg

Obviously apples and apples.
What engine did the Tahoe have?

5.3l v8

I knew I should have looked that up.
Well, the F40 was 2.9 and it got by.

Well, to be fair, it's still a small displacement V12 considering my LS3 V8 is 6.2.

F40 was a V-8, and it had more horsepower 30 years ago than you have now.
And The McLaren P1 is only 3.8.

And it was twin turboed, mine is naturally aspirated.

Also twin turboed and has an electric engine hybrid setup too.

My only point is that there clearly is a "replacement for displacement."

I don't think there's any arguing that, but obviously there's a limit currently in terms of efficiency which is what this thread is about.
Hell, the new Ford GT's are running the 3.5L Ecoboost.

yeah a guy at work has a '16 F-150 with the eccoboost. gets around 18mpg.
i have a '15 sierra with the 5.3 and get close to 21 mpg.
his truck feels any trailer we put behind it.
mine will drag em without a problem.
he'll beat me red light to red light though.

Yeah, it seems like the cylinder deactivation is more efficient.
Posted on 10/14/16 at 9:24 pm to Street Hawk
I hope this is a move to improve public transportation

No, there really isn't if we're talking about internal combustion.
Look at the brake specific fuel consumption on a low speed crosshead diesel (really big marsk propulsion shite) vs something like a 4 cylinder turbo car motor (what many people think is efficiency). There is no comparison. The large cylinder volume and very long compression/power stroke do a great job of sucking the power out of every drop of fuel.
So in other words, there's no replacement for displacement. Until you bring size and cost into the picture. We can have efficiency, but nobody wants to pay for it.

Not fair comparing diesel efficiency to gas efficiency 
Manufacturers need to start working heavily on forced induction, intake conditions, and optimizing piston head design. Secondary to that, they need to get rid of parasitic drag through the driveline

this still baffles me that it actually works, let alone how smooth it does it.
certain screens in my instrument panel tells you how many cylinders you're running on.
you can't feel it switch to 4.
and then if you nail it, it automatically jumps to 8 seamlessly.
