Engine & Transmission

Engine

Introducing the new GT E with a 32 valve, quad-cam Boss V8 engine comparable to Europe’s best.  The awe-inspiring Boss 315 is a powerplant unlike any other and comes to life on Australia’s only current V8 engine production line.

Its 5.4-litre capacity, 32 valves and double overhead camshafts work to produce 315kW of power and a phenomenal 551Nm of torque. 

The Boss 315 engine features a number of unique FPV engine upgrades and components including:

  • New camshaft timing and a new profile that gives higher lift and extended duration
  • Twin plate throttle body improves volumetric efficiency and reduces pressure loss through the induction system
  • New upper intake manifold plenum chamber for optimized air flow
  • A new high flow “straight-through” twin exhaust system and new stainless steel exhaust manifolds which maximize powertrain sound quality and minimize back pressure
  • An increase in engine speed range from 6,000rpm to 6,500rpm

The Boss 315 engine also gives the GT E flexibility through the gears and consequently, drivers will notice that from a standing start, the vehicle feels lighter and more responsive.  The new GT E also boasts a fuel economy figure of 14L/100km.


Transmission

The GT E features the ZF 6-speed high-torque automatic transmission with Sequential Sports Shift as standard.  This high-performance automatic gearbox offers the driver the best of both worlds. Its Sequential Sports Shift system allows fast, clean manual gear changes to maximize all the available power for acceleration or quick downshifts.  And when in full auto mode, the adaptive shift system changes characteristics to suit your individual driving style.
