THE Pegaso 9.35-litre six-cylindered oil engine, manufactured by the Spanish E.N.A.S.A. Co., has been subjected to detail design Modifications since its introduction, which have resulted in a power increase from 125 b.h.p. to 140 b.h.p. at 2,000 r.p.m. The maximum torque output is now 435 lb.-ft. at 1,000 r.p.m.
The modifications concern the combustion-chamber design and the fuelinjection equipment, and a marked increase in fuel economy has been obtained. The best figure claimed is 0.345 lb. per b.h.p. per hour and it is stated by the makers that the consumption rate has not been found to exceed 0.396 lb. per b.h.p. per hour. Such economy is exceptional for an oil engine of this size. The unit is fitted to all types of passenger and commercial vehicle.
