Top 10 Turbocharged Cars that Weren’t Very Powerful
Ford Fairmont
At Ford, turbocharging was mostly noticed through the introduction of the Mustang SVO, a limited-edition car that wasn’t propelled by a good old V8, but a turbo 2.3-litre four-cylinder mill. Powerful in the Mustang, the first versions of that engine were rather wheezy. In the 1980 Ford Fairmont, the turbo engine option raised output from about 88 horsepower to 120. A 36% hike.
