GORDON KIRBY'S INSIDE TRACK
Thursday, February 8, 2007
The venerable Cosworth XFE turbo V-8 that will power each and every Champ Car in the 2007 season, sounds even better this year.
Refinements to the engine's electronics and a new exhaust system and wastegates to suit the new Panoz DP01 have resulted in a slightly smoother, sharper sound. The latest version of the XFE also runs without a pop-off valve thanks to a new electronic boost control and the duty cycle on each engine has been increased from 1,200 to 1,400 miles. Another change for this year is that Cosworth has ceded all the engine-related electronics to Pi Research.
A fine read for the tech minded among us.
Or if you're just looking for a good time, listen to this:
