Character

G9T

"Laguna II, Vel Satis. Common rail successor to G8T. Injector failures. DPF on later models. Turbo actuator. More complex = more failure points. Vel Satis reputation doesn't help."

F7P

"Clio Williams, R19 16S. Early F-family hot hatch engine. 137hp NA — feels quick in a light Clio. Timing belt. High-revving. The Clio Williams is a French icon with this engine."
