As you might suspect from its name, a twin turbo engine has two turbos. Now, you may ask, “What’s a turbo?” Turbo is short for turbocharger, which is a car part consisting of an air compressor and turbine. The turbocharger forces air into your engine, giving your car a lot more power.
If you do purchase a vehicle with a twin turbo engine, you’ll not only see increased horsepower, but also better performance, including better gas mileage.
