Once upon a time, there was an era when turbocharging wasn"t just seen as the master key to unlock the laborious WLTP labyrinth. Back in the day, turbos came with a capital T and were toys the naughty boys at the back of the engineering class played with.See back in the Seventies - unlike today - you didn"t lash a turbo to a downsized engine to make the same power with fewer emissions. Oh no, you strapped a turbo to the same engine as everything else to make more power and more emissions. Because more is more. And some of the time, more is better. Case in point: the BMW 2002 Turbo.Photography: Mark Riccioni
