General Motors provided a fix for "Noise #1" but stated that "Noise #2" was a characteristic of any car equipped with a manual transmission and that a similar noise could be repeated by lugging the engine. The remedy for "Noise #1" was to overfill the transmission with Saturn Manual Transmission Lubricant from the stock 1.8 quarts to 2.6 quarts.
Volvo began offering a 4.4 L (4,414 cc) V8 engine in its large P2 platform automobiles in 2005. [6] [7] It was initially offered only for the Volvo XC90 [6] [7] but later found its way in the second generation Volvo S80, [5] and was mated to a six speed Aisin Seiki AWTF80-SC transmission of Japan also with a Swedish Haldex all-wheel drive (AWD) system.
Manual – the driver has to perform each gear change using a manually operated clutch; Automatic – once placed in drive (or any other 'automatic' selector position), it automatically selects the gear ratio dependent on engine speed and load; Basically there are two types of engine installation:
It was based on a Testarossa with a turbocharged flat-12 engine featuring a 5.0 L Ferrari-Lotec turbocharger. The engine had a power output of 750 hp (559 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 900 N⋅m (660 lb⋅ft) of torque at 5,000 rpm. It successfully broke the record in its class in 1991, reaching 351 km/h (218 mph) with catalytic converters fitted. [43]
The engine produces 526 horsepower (392 kW) at 7,500 rpm and 429 pound-feet (582 N⋅m) at 4,750 rpm, [121] [122] sufficient to give it a zero to 60 mph (97 km/h) acceleration of 4.2 seconds and a maximum speed of 172 miles per hour (277 km/h). [123] The Tremec TR-3160 manual transmission was adapted for sustained track use. [120]
The V-angle of the LFA's V-10 engine is set to 72-degrees, which allows for even firing from the pistons without the use of a split-journal crankshaft, thus improving engine efficiency as well as lowering the overall weight. Dry sump lubrication prevents engine oil starvation through high-speed corners and lowers the engine's center of mass.
It featured 9.0:1 compression and had from 204–231 PS (150–170 kW; 201–228 hp) depending on year and export market. All engines were mated to the Mercedes-Benz 4G-Tronic transmission. In North America, this engine was only used in 420SEL models featuring 204 PS (150 kW; 201 hp) at 5,200 rpm and 310 N⋅m (229 lb⋅ft) at 3,600 rpm.
