If changing the emission test to include putting the engine under load would allow Ferrari to stay naturally aspirated then the problem isn't regulation but poorly implemented regulation. I'm all for getting regulations right. > Despite the claims of marketers everywhere, lag can't be eliminated. The holy grail for engineers of turbo engines....has been to manage the lag so that it's unobtrusive in normal driving. A bit of a nitpick but McLaren showed you can do exactly that if you include an electric generator (i.e. if you go hybrid.) In the P1 they even have massive turbos and a flat torque curve because the generator fills in the torque gaps. (I look at the P1 the same way I looked at Lamborghinis when I was in the third grade, just pure awe.) Since Ferrari has an F1 team and F1 has gone the hybrid/turbo route, not only do they know this technology exists but they're on the cutting edge of it. If they're really concerned about the turbo lag they know exactly what they can do about it.
