The worn clutch started slipping whenever you tried to accelerate hard so you really had to nurse it along. Then the exhaust manifold on the straight 6 came loose and about did us in with carbon monoxide. Rolled all the windows down and just kept going. Stupid kids.

Blood Brothers: Mini Coupe JCW vs Peugeot RCZ
https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-features/blood-brothers-mini-coupe-jcw-vs-peugeot-rcz/25665

Quote:
Automotive joint ventures are all the rage nowadays, and these two coupes - despite different brand images - share the same co-developed BMW/PSA Peugeot Citroen 1.6-litre powerplant. In fact it's just one of a family of joint engines that can be found under the bonnet of everything from a BMW 118i to a Citroen C3.

Yamaha Genesis 7 Valve per cylinder
While the 7-valve variant of the Genesis engine really wasn’t ever close to production, it is important because it really showed that there is such thing as too much. A leader in multi-valve technology at the time, Yamaha experimented with its Genesis engine program to find out how many valves shoved into a combustion chamber were too many. With four intake valves, three exhaust valves, and two spark plugs per cylinder, the R&D team finally found the wall. In fact, they also tried an experimental six-valve design as well, and found it to perform worse than a five-valve design, setting the standard early on for five-valve-per-cylinder designs.
