 When it comes to combustion engine vehicles, there are two types -- aspirated and naturally aspirated. Naturally aspirated engines intake the air and depend on the atmospheric pressure inserting into the motor, where as aspirated engines use the air and compress it making it much more pressurized going into the cylinder thus creating more power.

Aspiration also known as forced induction, is the process of delivering compressed air to the intake of the combustion engine. A forced induction engine uses a turbocharger or supercharger which compresses the air to increase its pressure, temperature and density as it is going into the piston. An engine without forced induction is considered a naturally aspirated engine and does not have as much "ummphf" when accelerating.
