This downsizing enables lower fuel consumption, accompanied by low emissions and optimum weight. The reduced slip on the lockup clutch gives a more direct connection to the accelerator pedal and therefore provides greater agility, the company says.

Extreme compression ratio rather than downsizing. Although downsizing—i.e., The S-VT system is supported by the adoption of a compact electronic variable-pressure oil pump. In order to push out the excess air, the intake S-VT keeps the intake valves open when the piston starts to move upward during the compression stroke.

The automotive industry, including Lotus Engineering, has quite rightly advocated engine downsizing for four-stroke engines. Downsizing therefore isn’t vital and, due to the improved light-load efficiency and emissions performance we see with Omnivore, this technology approach and ‘upsizing’ could permit a more efficient engine.
