    Re: What five cars that don’t exist would you like to see/buy/just have available?

    The exhaust doesn't have to be below the crankcase 

    could be on top a la 918

    The 918 engine is a vee, not a boxer, so it naturally has room for the exhaust manifolds either side of the vee block and at or above the level of the crankcase centre-line, as I implied.
    On the other hand, the exhaust ducts in the heads of a boxer engine would have to vent downwards to achieve a reasonably-shaped combustion chamber, normally resulting in the outlet tracts from the chambers being directly below the heads. Making room for them would then involve raising the engine, including the crankshaft centre-line, to a higher level than would otherwise be necessary, just as I said

    Flat 8 can still have exhaust ports on the top side, and in that configuration, it would be much easier to turbo charge it. 

    Composite intake runners can snake around the belly pan to get to the intake.

    That would be one hell of a compromise in terms of optimised air inlet tracts, and all just as a misguided attempt to adhere to the boxer engine layout?

    Since the Scion FR-S and the Porsche Cayman are usually mentioned as being the cars with the lowest center of gravity, it would seem to non-engineers that the boxer layout doesn't suffer too much in that regard.  yes

    Have a look at the design of the N63/S63 BMW turbo V8, or the new AMG "hot v" v8 if you're interested in that stuff. Both have exhaust ports and turbos in the V as opposed to the outer side. It's a bitch to cool, but it reduces turbo lag due to the "pulse tuned" manifold design.

    Everything depends on how you realise exhaust ports on 180 vee. Testarossa f.e. had a very high CoG.

    That one had the gearbox under the engine though? Smiley

    It doesn't exist in the US yet, but if the rumored 130hp version becomes a reality, I think that I want one.
