We only have a fair idea of how much a liter can be. A few years ago, one liter i.e. 1000 cc displacement was looked down upon in terms of engines. To put it simply, the performance of such an engine was not very impressive. But with the change of time, the new technology has changed the old ideas. Today’s 1.0 liter engine has also been made very powerful thanks to turbo charge technology.
German companies have been using 1.0 liter engines in their cars for several years. South Korean firms have recently stepped into the same shoes. Even Indian car manufacturers have slowly started walking this same road. The five most powerful cars with 1.0 liter engine sold in the country are found in this report.
