RSS Feed for DrivingEnthusiast.net About DrivingEnthusiast.net  2007 G35 Sedan - sneak peak from Infiniti   Thanks to a person from Infiniti public relations, we have a special tour video of the upcoming 2007 G35 sedan. A *very* nice car... but I'm more interested at this point in the 4th-gen VQ engine. It's highly revised from the earlier VQ engines... but neither Infiniti nor Nissan is saying exactly how. We know it makes more HP, we know it sports a much larger intake manifold (one shot from New York showed the G35 with the hood open). We'll probably have to wait a few months for more details...

RSS Feed for DrivingEnthusiast.net About DrivingEnthusiast.net  Evo section: significant updates   My Evo section has received some significant updates, particularly in the picture galleries. New galleries include the 2003 and 2005 Evo VIII (both US and international models), and WRC selected years. I've added wallpaper, new images of the Evo X concept, and an additional press release. And I've updated the drivetrain section of the Evo X page with high-res images of the drivetrain changes. More is coming... watch this space....

RSS Feed for DrivingEnthusiast.net About DrivingEnthusiast.net  Yamaha 4.4l DOHC V-8 (Volvo)   Latest addition to my my Ford Motor Company engine section: high-res images of the Yamaha 4.4l DOHC V-8 engine, as used in the Volvo S80 and XC90. And possibly in the future Five Hundred and MK-S? The Five Hundred is an unknown (nothing announced), and the MK-S is officially only a concept. However, it's been widely discussed for the Five Hundred and the MK-S with this engine is understood to be a 2008 production Lincoln (not a replacement for the LS, but larger). Question is where the engine will be built for Ford & Lincoln usage: in the United States or will it be brought in from Japan at greater cost? Street talk says this engine is related to the earlier SHO "Yamaha" engine. While the stroke is the same, the bore is far larger (entirely different bore spacing), the engine is architecturally very different (both blocks and head), it is cast entirely differently, and nothing else is in common. Certainly there are Yamaha family similarities here - Yamaha has been designed engines for Toyota, for example, for many years. But, these are not at all the same engine.
