TODAY’S questions are . . .

What do naturally-aspirated engines do?

This is an engine which does not have the air injected by a turbocharger or supercharger but sucked in from the outside atmosphere.

When comparing a naturally-aspirated engine with a turbocharged or supercharged engine of the same size, most naturally-aspirated engines deliver less power.

Why use naturally-aspirated engines?

The simpler design of naturally-aspirated engines mean that they tend to be cheaper to produce and easier to maintain.

Who uses naturally-aspirated engines?

Most petrol-powered cars use naturally-aspirated engines. Turbochargers and superchargers are a popular way of boosting power output for a number of car makers.

Diesel-powered cars tend to be turbocharged as naturally-aspirated diesel engines usually don’t provide enough power needed by vehicle owners.
