Mazda Skyactiv-Diesel has 14:1 compression

Pretty cool article on the low compression diesel engine.

How Mazda Reinvented the Diesel Engine | Popular Science

Mazda must be the BMW of Japan when it comes to innovation. I think it is amazing that the air will get red hot at a low 14:1 compression ratio.

I guess I will believe it when I see it (and hear it).
