From what I hear they are working on a new engine technology. It's called DEI. The engine is made to act similar to a turbo, yes it is an FI engine. In a turbo setup the exhaust causes the turbo to spool and create boost. With this new DEI technology, there is no need for a turbo. The exhaust is directly injected back into the engine, creating an infinite amount of boost and creating an imense amount of power to the wheels.



But shhhhhh. I didn't say anything..........
