Mazda’s New Engine Tech Video Is Fascinating And Mesmerising
This is Mazda’s new video, showing off its Spark Controlled Compression Ignition combustion cycle, or SPCCI. It’s the super-lean burn cycle the company has been working on, combining elements of petrol and diesel combustion cycles into one. It’s different to the HCCI system because it uses a spark.
In a nutshell the cycle intentionally draws in less petrol on the intake stroke, compresses it much more fiercely than a normal gasoline engine does and then adds a dash of higher-concentrated fuel which is then ignited by a spark plug. That triggers further combustion at multiple points throughout the cylinder.
Merging the power of spark-led combustion with the efficiency of compression ignition generates more power from less fuel, maximising efficiency in a way that’s never been brought to market before.
Who needs electric cars, anyway? Well, if we’re honest, Mazda does. Still: well played, Mazda. We look forward to seeing – and feeling – SPCCI in action in future cars.
Comments
One word:
ROTARY
it was a great presentation but its gives me goosebumps. since audi adverts are always creepy.
Rotary confirmed. Wake up people!
The future is now!
The end might not be as near removes tinfoil hat
Alarm Clock: The end (of ICE)
Mazda: Snooze
Long live ICE
How about making a SKYACTIV-X rotary, Mazda?
Skyrotativ-x
Not sure how it would work but I imagine it could be possible
Now all we need is for Mazda to make a Skyactiv-x V8
That would be awesome!
V12
Meme idea: When you want a V8 but eco-friendly is life
no not just v8, a i4,i6,v6,v8 v10,v12,v16,w16,w18
That’s cool, but what about running e85 with this engine? Also unless I see a 300hp 2l engine that lasts, I’m not 100% sold
You do not need 2l with this engine type.
Mazda will ensure the ICE lives for as long as possible, with new and innovative creations like the SPCCI.
And I’m sure it’s just me, but the music almost sounds like it came straight out of some RPG…
Internal Combustion’s death?!
Mazda LAUGHS in the face of Tesla’s robot uprising!
Mazda_UK good job
