There are also some really cool technologies in F1 that should make their way to consumer cars soon.

There is a pre-detonation chamber that injects a tiny bit of gasoline just before the main injection, and sets light to it at exactly the right time. Apparently, it results in a big horsepower gain and increased fuel burn. But it ain't cheap to build.

Nissan just released the Titan with a Cummins so it's interesting they're pursuing this technology.

Nissan wouldn't have a whole lot of development costs tied up in a Cummins Engine.

Sounds like this targets small diesel. cars/suv etc.
