Now its multi-brand automotive group within a common parts is the norm, especially the engine, even the luxury brand is no exception, Rolls-Royce 6.7 T V12 engine is a BMW 6.6T V12 engine on the 760, bore nothing more than a slightly different, resulting in different displacement. But there are always a few exceptions in the world, such as the Cadillac of Blackwing V8 engine. Cadillac president Steve middot; Carlisle had announced that Cadillac will not share it with other brands Blackwing V8 engine, note the brand, it is, along with GM’s other brands will not be shared.
However, some time ago, foreign media reports, the Italian supercar independent engineering and manufacturing company MAT will independently design a new super-race, or It will be used Cadillac Blackwing V8 engine. Event originated in GM engine research and development center Punch Torino sold to suppliers Punch Group, the former will be adjusted according to the production needs of Punch Group, General Motors and other customers jointly developed engine products. According to the contract requirements, the center will be responsible for manufacturing resembles a Blackwing V8 engine.
then the Cadillac Blackwing V8 engine will not be sharing it? But also from this engine itself.
Blackwing V8 engine
Blackwing V8 engine Cadillac developed a 4.2L gasoline engine, a dual turbocharger and double overhead camshaft, a turbocharger positioned cylinder DOHC between the cover and lightweight turbine blade can achieve high speed, reduced the turbo lag time. This engine has 410kW (550Ps) maximum power and 850Nmiddot; m peak torque, dynamic performance is ideal for performance cars or sports cars. Originally equipped with this engine in the Cadillac CT6-V and the top version of the CT6 Platinum.
fate Blackwing V8 engine
As the revenue problem, GM cut a lot of cars, Cadillac CT6 in them, so Blackwing V8 engine in the future without cars available. As CT5 and Escalade ESCALADE, these two models will stick with GM’s small-block V8 engine. You say domestic CT6? This large displacement engine in the country is not feasible, emissions regulations would go through. This time the Italian company MAT and will not use this engine, Cadillac has made an official response, plus the sale of GM engine research and development center Punch Torino is mainly responsible for the development of diesel engines, this engine is not involved.
The Blackwing V8 engine escaped shared destiny, the future will it? I do not think, originally equipped with this engine models have been discontinued, this engine being no vehicle is equipped with, and development of a common engine money can not make it so stood, it will inevitably use it, of course, does not rule out very common pride in this section directly to the engine shutdown seal.
In fact, this engine will be sold to other companies is a good choice, especially some independent sports car design and manufacturing company. There are a lot of sports car design company independent models are based on other vendors engines, most notably Pagani engine is provided by the Mercedes-Benz AMG. In line with the principle of not wasting, GM will sell to independent Blackwing V8 engine sports car design company is also possible. Of course, to use their own Chevy Corvette models can also be related.
In summary, Blackwing V8 engine results no more than two, shared or stop seal. For revenue point of view, it is apparently shared revenue higher.
written in the last
is not just share a common engine, now all car prices anxious all the parts can be common, modular platform is developed based on this requirement, so that the maximum ofAdvantage that we can reduce R & D cost of the vehicle, and if every model independent research and development, so a car will cost your God, manufacturers and consumers are not willing to see this.
in the future there will be little or a vendor for several models on developing an engine, so obviously overhead costs too much, in order to be considered a performance version of the model can be directly applied on a hybrid motor, the public Touareg R is so do not do.
