NEW V8 Info

[Chris_CommercialManager]

Here is some info.  Have barely had time to be on here, business is insanely good!!!  In addition to the below, it will be mated to a 7 speed trans.  Before anyone asks, I don't think I'll have pricing info.  As for MPG, word is it will be better than the available v6 right now.  But of course with no EPA rating it will be some time, in the hands of real users before I can at least get some real first hand data.  Cheers guys, hope everyone is doing well for the holidays!!!

 

ENGINE/MOTOR

5.6-liter DOHC 32-valve V8 engine updated

The new VK56VD takes advantage of advanced engine technology to provide more power and higher fuel efficiency than the previous-generation gasoline engine. The engine produces 375 hp @ 5800 rpm and 387 lb-ft of torque @ 4000 rpm.

Notable engine features include:

• Lightweight components such as aluminum-alloy engine block and cylinder heads, which improve performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control by reducing engine weight and allowing the engine to warm up more quickly.
• Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS), which varies intake and exhaust valve timing continuously to help improve power, driveability, and fuel economy and reduce emissions.
• Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL®), which continuously varies intake valve lift to enhance acceleration, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce exhaust emissions. It works in conjunction with CVTCS.
• Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG), which injects highly pressurized fuel directly into the combustion chamber of each cylinder to enhance engine power, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce exhaust emissions.
• An electronically controlled Multi-Control Valve, which provides flexible management of water temperature to the engine, throttle chamber, transmission fluid cooler and heater, heater, and radiator to help enhance warm-up, cooling, emissions, and fuel economy.
