The Yaris engine produces 360nm for 261hp which is not 346 ft-lbs (~468nm).

While it’s not a 3 cylinder, Peugeot has been producing a 270hp 1.6 4 cylinders since 2014 in the RCZ-R then the 308 GTi.

It’s not really Flan either but it’s not pronounceable correctly in English :)

There was also the Duster No-Limit of Jean-Philippe Dayraut that did Pikes Peak in 2011 and 2012 :

Seems like there are multiple possible ways to recycle batteries and that it’s evolving quite fast, there are multiple recent technical papers about it if you search “lithium battery recycling” on Google but i am no expert either.

It’s not specific to the unions.

It’s still a 230km/2h30 drive (by the autoroute having tolls) between the two factories so workers would have to move if they want to keep their job, which is obviously not ideal.

It is important to note that engine retrofitting ICE engines was never allowed in France (and in most of the world) like it’s possible with crates engines in the US, you would have to homologate every modified cars which would cost more than the price of the car in most cases ; only replacing an engine for another of…

The big news is that GCK is getting out of ICE racing and thus of WRX :(

It’s calles rallycross (the “real” one, not the slalom in the US), i can’t find the number but if i recall correctly the WRX (World Rallycross, not the Subaru...) tires are 225 or 245 of width.

PSA don’t have any RWD platforms, there are the Hybrid4 models that have AWD with electric engines in the back.

It’s for the European CAFE so it’s only counting cars sold in Europe.

No-one wants FIAT and Alfa either in Europe.

One of the Promaster cousin, the Peugeot Boxer already has an electric variant (the e-Boxer).

This is the definition of scary !

Was about to post the same thing.

The problem is that the Titan never sold well and that EV pickups are not really a thing yet and will only have a market in the US so it might not be a great idea to put billions in R&D for a model that might not sell at all when the company and the worldwide economy are not at their best.

My bad, i thought it was already the case but the next models will be.
