  Lean Six Sigma
Lean Six Sigma emphasizes that speed is directly tied to excellence.
Speed has a bad reputation; it is often equated with hasty, undisciplined work.
This tends to lead to a significant increase in both speed and productivity for a simple reason: most of the features we put into software systems are never going to be used.

Like the Speed Twelve and racing variants of the Speed Eight engine, it has a dry sump which means it can sit very low in the chassis and that it doesn't suffer from oil surge which can be a problem with the long sump required for this configuration of engine.

 TVR Speed Six engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
