Dynamics Drive
Direct fuel injection (DFI)
Active aerodynamics
With-millisecond-precision,-DFI-injects-
fuel-at-up-to-2900 psi-directly-into-the-
combustion-chamber-by-means-of-
electromagnetically-actuated-injection-
valves.-The-spray-and-cone-angles-
have-been-optimized-for-torque,-power-
output,-fuel-consumption-and-emissions-
by-enabling-a-homogeneous-distribution-
of-the-air/fuel-mixture-and,-therefore,-
effective-combustion.-DFI-improves-the
internal-cooling-of-the-combustion
chamber-by-having-the-mixture-prepared-
directly-in-the-cylinder.-This-allows-for-a-
higher-compression-ratio,-which-helps-
deliver-greater-power-output-at-the-
same-time-as-enhanced-engine-efficiency.
The-active-radiator-baffles-open-the-air--
intake-flaps-only-as-needed.-Whenever-
the-cooling-requirement-is-low,-such-as-
on-relaxed-drives,-the-radiator-baffles-
close.-Aerodynamics-are-enhanced,-
which-helps-to-improve-fuel-economy.-
If,-for-example,-a-sporty-driving style-is-
adopted-and-the-demand-for-power-
increases,-the-air-intake-flaps-will-open-
and-let-in-the-necessary-amount-
of-cooling-air-for-increased-driving-
performance.
Oil supply
The-integrated-dry-sump-lubrication-of-the-
V6-gasoline-engines-guarantees-a-reliable-
supply-of-oil-in-all-driving-situations.-The
oil-reservoir-is-located-directly-inside-the-
engine,-which-saves-on-space-and-weight.-
An-electronically-controlled-oil-pump
provides-the-correct-amount-of-oil-as-and-
when-needed.-Optimized-for-sporty-driving,
it-ensures-optimal-engine-lubrication-even-
in-extreme-situations.
Thermal management
Engine-cooling-is-prevented-during-the-
initial-stages-of-a-cold-start-so-that-the-
engine-reaches-its-optimal-operating-
temperature-faster.-This-means-it-can-
begin-working-at-high-efficiency-sooner,-
thereby-consuming-less-fuel.
