Jaguar Land Rover Ingenium engines: sub-100g/km confirmed

By John Mahoney First Official Pictures 09 July 2014 17:00 Jaguar Land Rover  (JLR) today lifted the lid on details of its new four-cylinder engine family dubbed Ingenium.

Key headlines include the promise of 'sub-100g/km CO2 emissions' in the new 2015 Jaguar XE, the first model to premiere the new British-built motors.

Volvo gives T6 engine the Polestar treatment

Just weeks after announcing its Polestar performance kits for the T5-engined cars, Volvo is now offering packages for the XC60, S60 and XC70 models fitted with its turbocharged six-cylinder engine. The T6 Polestar software package adds 25 hp and 30 lb-ft of torque, bringing totals to 325 hp and 355 lb-ft, respectively. Volvo says the added power won't result in greater fuel consumption, as the tuning of the engine only increases power when needed--though we'd imagine most drivers will feel the need often enough to significantly affect mileage.

Novitec ups the ante on the Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale

The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale might be leading in the vowels-per-word category, but on power it's slightly down--especially when you put it next to its Italian brethren.

The Novitec Tridente, built off the MC Stradale platform, gets a belt-driven supercharger, a bigger intake manifold, larger injectors and new engine-software mapping.
