VM Motori Engine Diesel Engine : RA 630 DOHC

3000 cc - 6 Cyl. - 24 Valve

Matching refinement with power with ultra low emissions, the 3.0L 24 v has to be the ultimate in diesel engines. This engine is particularly flexible in its design and can be tailored to meet each individual customer's requirements, be it for a low rev, high torque workhorse for a commercial vehicle or a refined, high-speed engine for a luxury car.

Technical features include a chain-driven, double overhead camshaft with four valves per cylinder. Each valve is driven by finger followers. Each cylinder has a central direct injector with cooled EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) as an integral part of the cylinder heads. The vacuum pump is incorporated into one of the camshafts for greater efficiency and the oil pump is a rotary vane type.

In 190 CV automotive guise this 3.0L 24 v turbocharged engine leads the way in power, torque, refinement and emissions. Further increases can also be achieved by fitting an optional VGT turbocharger which increases power and torque to 220 CV and 550 Nm respectively.

Additionally the engine's packaging means that it can be fitted into surprisingly tight engine bays. VM is very proud of this engine and believe that this is the future of high capacity diesel engines.
