It would make a great engine for the REPU. Think of the torque.

Its current designation is 16X. It may eventually come to be known as the 16C.

Actually I was thinking about that as well, chances are the X is simply a design/R&D designation (say for eXperimental) and if/when it hits production it will be changed to the 16C.

It's real!

Any HP numbers yet? Assuming same power per liter it would hit 285HP in U.S. and 314 in Japan.

Oh, and here's the ugly concept car it's in:

But why 16C? Im thinking more like 16A, like the 10A, 12A, 13A (Yes, it exists), where the letter states the "level" the development the engine has reached..

This would be the first 1.6, so maybe A would be appropriate. Then again, Mazda kept 12A for the '74-'85 engines even though they should have been 12B. I guess 16C goes along with that logic.
