Turbochargers, you might be aware, are all the rage. Previously held back for only range-topping special editions, they"re creeping onto just about every petrol-powered engine. Yes, it means quick performance twinned with lower emissions, but it also means you can"t rev the knackers off engines quite like you used to.But good news! Some carmakers refuse to bolt turbos to everything they make, allowing an increasingly small bunch of sports cars and supercars to still satisfy those who like to earn their performance, rather than stamp on a throttle and get it on demand. These are some of those cars, and their 0-62mph times prove if you crave a quick getaway, you don"t have to use a turbocharger (or, indeed, supercharger) for itWe start with the Ferrari GTC4 Lusso. We"ve not driven it yet, but while its 6.3-litre V12 engine has no turbos to help hustle its four-seated bulk along, it"ll still crack 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds.
