As part of designing its own powerplants, Cadillac then created its new-for-1993 twin-overhead-cam Northstar V-8, marking another engine-technology milestone with a fine tribute to its 90 years of V-type engine production.
It complements the brand's current portfolio of V-type engines, including the ATS-V's 3.6L, 464hp, Twin Turbo V-6 and the CTS-V's 6.2L, 640 horsepower supercharged V-8 engines.
For the emerging market, MAN provides tried and tested, sustainable 6-cylinder in-line engines, as well as 8-, 10- and 12-cylinder
V-type engines.
They also made many inverted
V-type engines, single crank, but they were not of the opposed type.
One camshaft between the banks of
V-type engines drives both intakes and "exhausts.
Electronically controlled common rail diesels, the
V-type engines are also four-valve-per-cylinder designs and use waste-gated turbochargers.
