What do T and L mean in cars?

[LaEmiliano]

In cars, the meanings of T and L are as follows: T stands for turbo, which means turbocharging. L stands for liter, indicating the engine displacement in liters. Engines labeled with L without a T are generally naturally aspirated engines. Below are the differences between the two types of engine intake methods: 1. Naturally aspirated is a type of engine intake where air is drawn into the combustion chamber by atmospheric pressure without any supercharger. Naturally aspirated engines offer smoother power output and more direct response compared to turbocharged engines. 2. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases from internal combustion engines to drive an air compressor. The main purpose of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing the engine's power and torque, making the car more powerful. When a turbocharger is installed on an engine, its maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not equipped with a turbocharger.
