Volvo Penta is introducing the most powerful of its next-generation marine gasoline engines at the Miami International Boat Show this week. Offered in 380 and 430 hp models, the new aluminum V8s are based on the highly successful General Motors’ Gen-V block and incorporate a combination of technical features that cannot be matched by any other marine gasoline engines in their horsepower range.

Features include:

  • All-aluminum block for highest power-to-weight ratio.
  • Direct fuel injection providing better low-end torque and fuel efficiency.
  • Standard closed-loop fresh-water cooling with no internal parts exposed to raw or salt water.
  • Wideband oxygen sensors to optimize the engine for varying fuel quality and reduce carbon monoxide emissions by 95 per cent.
  • Variable valve timing to optimize torque across the full acceleration range.

Most powerful model in marine gasoline line-up

The 6.2-liter engines round out Volvo Penta’s full lineup of Gen-V marine engines, joining the well-received 5.3-liter V8s and 4.3-liter V6s.

The new V8 380 has 24 per cent quicker acceleration and is 11 per cent more fuel efficient than the engine it replaces in the Volvo Penta line. The new V8 430 – the most powerful model in Volvo Penta’s marine gasoline engine line-up – delivers 14 per cent faster acceleration and provides 10 per cent better fuel economy than its predecessor.

“You’ll feel the difference the instant you open the throttle,” says Ron Huibers, president of Volvo Penta of the Americas. “At virtually any rpm level, the torque is nothing short of amazing.

“These new-technology engines provide our customers with proven quality, reliability, fuel economy and performance,” adds Huibers.

Volvo Penta will showcase the 6.2-liter model in Booth F272, at the Miami International Boat Show, from February 16-20.
