The CT Turbo is powered by a two litre, 4 cylinder engine of 1998 cm3 capacity developing 150 bhp @ 5 300 rpm and 177 lb/ft @ 2 500 rpm. The low pressure turbo charger provides maximum torque at just 2 500 rpm and maintains it across a wide rev band. Top speed is 132 mph/211 kph and 0 - 60 mph/100 kph comes up in about eight seconds. |
