Turbos have gotten sophisticated and when combined with VVT, they produce low emissions and low end torque that is unapproachable with naturally aspirated engines.
I have a Trax with a 1.3 liter turbo I4. The torque curve is so flat it feels like a little diesel.

Northstars. Cadillac motors from ‘93-‘04. DOHC 32v V8s. They seemed more sluggish than their roughly 300 hp ratings would suggest.
