540-Horsepower Engine

The all-aluminum V8 power plant produces 540 hp at a moderate 5500 rpm, with a maximum torque of 516 lb-ft (700 Nm) between 3000 rpm - 4750 rpm. Two turbo-chargers configured in parallel, each feeding one of the two cylinder banks, with specially developed large diameter exhaust-turbines allow this engine configuration to provide both exceptional power output and an abundance of torque over an especially broad rpm range while maintaining excellent throttle response at low rpm.
