The text appears to be a transcript of a video that discusses the naming conventions and acronyms used in car models. It begins with a brief mention of Carter, a company that offers discounted car parts and services. The video then moves on to explain different acronyms that are commonly found on car models.
The speaker discusses various acronyms such as "S" for sport, "T" for turbo, "DIE" for direct injection, "I" for injection, and "GT" for grand touring. They also explain that the acronym "SS" in Chevrolet stands for "super sport" and not "strong". In Ferrari, "F1" stands for Formula 1 cars, and "S" in "SV" stands for "Super Veloce", indicating a high-performance model.
The speaker also explains that "R" in "RS" stands for "Rally Sport" in Ford and "Racing" in Jaguar. In Subaru, they use "WRX" for World Rally Experimental, and in BMW, they use "i3" to indicate that the engine is a three-cylinder engine.
The speaker also clarifies that "5" in BMW's 5 series indicates a large sedan, and "30" indicates a 3-liter engine. However, due to downsizing, the actual displacement of the engine may be lower.
The speaker also mentions that BMW uses a classification system based on power, where a 16 stands for a less powerful model than an 18, which in turn is less powerful than a 20.
In Porsche, the speaker mentions that they use a code system for their models, such as 996 for the 911 model after the 997. However, this system is often confusing and doesn't always make sense.
The speaker concludes by expressing frustration with the naming conventions used by various car manufacturers, stating that it can be confusing for consumers. They hope that their explanation helps viewers understand these acronyms better.
