Per Wiki "Honda's NR (New Racing) V-four motorcycle engine series started in 1979 with the 500cc NR500 Grand Prix racer that used oval pistons.[1] This was followed during the 1980s by a 750cc endurance racer version known as the NR750. The oval piston concept allowed for eight valves per cylinder which generated more power due to the increased air/fuel mixture throughput and compression. In 1992 Honda produced around 300 street versions of a 750cc model, the NR (often mistakenly referred to as the NR750), with a 90-degree V angle. Whereas the NR500 had used an oval piston with straight sides, the road going NR750 used an elliptical piston with curved long sides. The bike became the most expensive production bike at the time when it was selling for $50,000 and with the rarity, nowadays they rarely change hands." Now do you see any make producing 100K units of this type a year? I think not there isn't a business out there to bring this to fruition.

What a machining nightmare that would be, not so bad on a rotary engine as the chambers are sliced sections that are shallow but a block with even 3.5" deck height would be a mess. Hard to comprehend the machining process even from my background maybe dwightlooi has seen something like that HELL I can't even think how to get crosshatch to get the rings seated

You are remembering the Buick/Olds 215 aluminum sold to Rover right?

How do you figure that they build Euro spec engines now and where do you think the 2.8 & 3.0L HF engines were developed? Then there's the Diesel program as of now Euro only. Small engines for Asia & India that aren't sold in North America soooooo, this concept could work if GM starts shifting to Global Marketing as Ford is employing at this very minute

My thought is its to lower the noise ie dull the high freq. sounds from combustion and timing chain & gear noise

I'm really not seeing what your comparing here they look like the same bolstering with knee support on the Buick

Sorry guys but thats been the law in Ohio for forever & a day the pedestrian has the right of way

With this news and the (right)Thinking that they need #'s to get the RWD program to the dealers we may see the whole Holden line in the States(wagon ) makes sense as we've been saying for soooooo long as in the Chevelle program

I have the 90 Grand Prix STE Turbo and that car is VERY exciting. It can open a serious can of whoop a$$ on GT/LX 5.0L Mustangs fully optioned and dealer mark-up to the tune of around $30K Fast all stock and close to the 1/4 mi times of goosed up 3.8L S/C later G/P's. Engineered by ASC/ McLaren a very competent performer besting the 320i and other Euro cars of the time. So even though it was FWD it was a serious Sport Sedan with near luxury leanings, and yes "We build Excitement... Pontiac!" surely was not laughable in this context or the more common coupe.

Had to Google that one Satty but not getting it, a joke maybe? Looks like a mazda5 cuv with a painted on bonnet of a skull cap

Here we go again with the BS about FWD and higher MPG's

G'Day mate! Glad ya found us & Dodge fan is steering ya rt.
