• Two strokes from Ingolstadt again?  A extract from "The Engineer" 15th March 1973. An interview with Dr Bernhard Buchner, head of engine research at Audi-NSU, Ingolstadt, "prophesied that two-stroke engines will make a comeback for passenger cars. 'They are the engines of the 80's', he says." Postscript - While Dr Buchner's reasoning was sound for both engineering and economic grounds, we all know that this did not happen. I still believe that in the era of hybrid electric motors, a modern, economic two-stroke engine to maintain charge to the electric engine is THE most logical solution. But we shall see whether this will ever come to pass. Paul Markham.
