The 3.0-liter, V6 24-valve VQ30 DE gasoline engine boasts excellent
power delivery at all engine speeds. Maximum power and torque
ratings have been increased, largely through refinements to the air
intake control system. More torque is now available at low and
medium engine speeds.
The new VQ's ultra-smooth response was achieved by minimizing engine
weight and friction loss. A durable aluminum-alloy engine block
contributes to weight reduction, while micro finishing of the
crankshaft and camshaft help cut friction loss.
Thanks to an improved engine-mounting system and more rigid body,
the pitch of the new VQ as heard from the cabin is conductive to
quiet conversation.
