S80 s Secret Formula Is Under The Hood

Arrest looks and excellent ergonomics are not sufficient to drive aficionados wild. In addition, Volvo will automatically increase productivity, perking up the engine. Look under the hood is just as important as other auto parts. As said modifications, Volvo expects the Volvo S80 will not only turn heads but in turn, preferences well.
Volvo Auto earlier unveiled a new high-performance six-cylinder in-line engine, that the possibilities of modern induction system that contributes both good performance and impressive fuel efficiency. A number of innovative solutions, Volvo established in the pool of engineers has been possible to produce a very compact machine. " I think it will be one of the most impressive six cylinders engines on the market & quot;, said Derek Crabb, Vice President Powertrain at Volvo Cars.
The six-cylinder 3.2 litre engine is made completely of aluminum and has more than the movement of his predecessor at 2.9. Automaker improved to 175 kW power as torque at 320 Nm. This corresponds to an increase of 31 kW and 40 Nm respectively. Said engine has been designed to blend with the new six-speed automatic gearbox. In addition, all drive was engineered to complement the rest of auto parts to create a harmonious balance and drive feel any respect.
Volvo engineers used a wide range of technologically advanced solutions for the Volvo S80 in the valvetrain and variable intake system. Decisions will be effectively prevented the engine used throughout the rollback. range. As such, it could contribute to preparedness response and excellent performance. This can be done without prejudice to the fuel efficiency of vehicle.
The Volvo S80 in valvetrain features Cam profile switching (UK) and Variable Cam Timing (VCT). These features contribute greatly to the flexibility and driveability of the Volvo S80. CPS allows the inlet valves to be lifted to a height of about two very different depending on engine load and speed. " In principle, Cam Profile Switching creates two engines in one & quot;, explained Crabb.
" We can unite widely different requirements for the same engine and easily meet the needs of customers with different desires. For example, we can equally easily satisfy customers who prioritize implementation, as well as those who are more interested in providing convenience and fuel economy ", he further adds.
The VIS, on the other hand, given two throttle valve valves, regulating consumption volume collector in addition to the driving situation. This system increases the torque and power to manage the brightest drive. " Using precise interaction with the flap valves we actually get three different torque curves that are integrated with each other & quot;, said Crabb. " Thus, we can use as an engine for extracting maximum and the maximum possible power throughout the rollback. range. The result is alert response to the accelerator pedal at low and high speeds, with generous power and good driveability ".
Another secret ingredient for the Volvo S80 is a compact form formula. Despite the engine displacement of 3.2 liters, it is very compact exterior dimensions. The whole package is only 3 mm longer than Volvo five-cylinder engine. The total length of 625 millimeters engine. " The compact format is the question of safety & quot;, explained Crabb. " This is particularly important that the engine takes minimal space in the longitudinal direction the car. Volvo in the engines fitted transversely and a compact engine thus has more space to move inside the engine compartment in the event of impact that deforms the car in front. This helps reduce the risk of engine penetration salon ".
The compact solution integrates shaft in Shaft design. " We are very proud of this compact solutions & quot;, added Crabb. " A lot of advanced development is required in order to arrive at design, which ensures a smooth and quiet operation & quot;.
" All told, the new six-cylinder engine offers a premium experience in every respect, & quot; withdrawal Crabb. " This also applies to its performance and fuel efficiency, as well as its driving comfort and sound engine. The fact that the engine design also helps enhance safety is not something the customer usually thinks about, but that, naturally, the central part of Volvo product concept ".
The new six-cylinder engine built at Ford Bridgend plant in Wales. In addition, Volvo, where the fuel injectors are collected. The plant, built in 1980, production is about 10 million engines by 2001.
