I still believe the car, in the flesh on UK roads, will drop jaws no matter the colour. 1 Quote If it has an engine, I am there to thrash it. My Emira Videos | Into Motorcycles?

No wonder they hide it all with a cover. 1 - 0 to the V6 on that score. So the engine layout is reversed when compared to the CLA 45 AMG, where the turbo is right in front of the firewall... Quite logical. One just needs to remind oneself to never leave any kind of fluid, liquid, gel, food in general to lean against the engine wall of the trunk as it may get quite toasty in there.

JimH Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Err -no - it's facing the same way but at the back of the car.... the M139 has the turbo at the back of the engine bay in all installations - it's just at the back of the car in the Emira..... Here's a view from the front - the intercooler lines up with the intake ducts at least..... 😉: And the back : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedaSay Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 Sorry, I think I pourly expressed myself ; compared to and AMG45 where the turbo will lay close, just infront of the cabin firewall, to the dashboard and the occupant, the turbo in the Evora will lay away from them and the cabin rear fire wall.
