WTF, Bronco concept w/ nitrous?

read down the page where it says: A Nitrous "Kick"

I dont see Ford actually offering that. People would find a way to up the amount, blow the engine, return it to stock, and have the engine replaced under warranty.

why not?..they've put out plenty of supercharged and turbo powered cars already that you can also modify as far as boost..its only a matter of time..i would imagine its controlled somehow..and the shot is probably not that big..probably a 50 shot or something..since they would know people would need experience in controlling a large shot..i think its cool [img]smile.gif[/img]

edit -- yeah it says here about the 50 shot..

On the new Ford Bronco concept, a stream of nitrous oxide is injected into the engine’s cylinders as long as the N2O button is held down, providing up to a temporary 50-hp boost and a three-second improvement in quarter-mile times, with 10-15 mph more top speed.

my question is..how are they getting a three-second improvement in the 1/4 ET with a 50 shot???

Ford Bronco concept...... CONCEPT.....

It won't go to production.... but.... it IS cool!

A lot of hardcore rock climbing vehicles are equipped with nitrous for an added boost to put them on top... literally! I doubt any car manufacturer would ever support nitrous in this way though. It's a cool concept.

VERY true!

Fords possible new lightning (which I think was just canceled) marketed the 50 HP increase from a button when the A/C refrigerant would be sprayed though the intercooler to supercool the incoming air... just LIKE nitrous....
