Editing Engine displacement (section)

== Automotive model names ==
Historically, many car model names have included their engine displacement. Examples include the 1923–1930 [[Cadillac Type V-63|Cadillac Series 353]] (powered by a 353 [[Cubic inch]]/5.8-litre engine), and the 1963–1968 [[BMW New Class#1800|BMW 1800]] (a 1.8-litre engine) and [[Lexus LS|Lexus LS 400]] with a 3,968 cc engine.  This was especially common in US [[muscle car]]s, like the [[Ford Mustang]] Boss 302 and 429, and later GT 5.0L, The [[Plymouth Roadrunner]] 383, and the [[Chevrolet Chevelle]] SS 396 and 454.

However, trends towards [[engine downsizing|downsizing]] and hybrid/electric drivetrains since 2010 have resulted in far fewer model names being based on the engine displacement.
