Man of Honour
This just popped up on a feed. A few days ago, Mazda announced that they are ready for production of these new engines. They claim performance/efficiency gains, and the goal is to get diesel economy from a petrol engine, whilst being cleaner and more powerful in the process.
Looks like next 2018/2019's Mazda 3 will be the first to get the new supercharged engines.
Not much is known about how the engines work, but some interesting info on EE:
Most interesting is that other car makers have attempted this but failed to get the balance perfect, whereas Mazda seems to have nailed it, and they don't want to share the technology either.
