The Horse engine in the latest Seven model is a testament to the classic design and performance that enthusiasts have come to love. While the redline and power output may seem modest compared to modern standards, it harkens back to the days of the old Ford Kent Crossflow engine. The engine is functional and reliable, with a notable response at lower revs and a strong pull from 3000-5000rpm.
Despite the potential for turbo lag, the lightweight nature of the Seven ensures that the engine’s response is always at the forefront. Even in wet conditions, the engine provides enough power to easily light up the rear tires and maneuver through corners with ease. The symposer adds a unique touch to the induction noise, giving the engine a distinctive growl.
The gear ratios are perfectly matched for the engine’s capabilities, with a smooth and precise gearshift reminiscent of a Mazda five-speed transmission. While a naturally aspirated, high-revving engine would be a dream, the Horse engine meets all regulatory requirements while still delivering an exhilarating driving experience.
Overall, the Horse engine delivers on all fronts – performance, responsiveness, and sound. It is sure to bring joy to Academy drivers and ensure the future of the Seven remains secure. For those who prefer a naturally aspirated Seven, the Horse engine is the perfect choice.
