Tiny Turbo Thrills: 3-Cylinder Cars Deliver Big Fun
A look at a growing lineup of fun three-cylinder cars that use turbocharged, small-displacement engines to deliver lively performance: the Ford Bronco Sport, Chevrolet Trax, and Buick Encore GX; the Toyota GR Corolla and its track-ready GRMN variant; and the ultra-light Morgan Super 3. These cars show that clever tuning, weight savings, and performance packages can make small engines surprisingly entertaining, with the GRMN Corolla packing up to 300 hp and 302 lb-ft and the Morgan delivering brisk 0–60 times despite modest horsepower.
