Don't try deny it, it is coming. You all speak about huge research and development costs for the turbo V6? News flash! Expensive Daewoo are not the only ones that are going to be using a turbo V6. This is a section from GM global tech site...The GM global V-6 program, an entirely new clean-sheet engine project, began in February 1999, with the first production application last June in the 2004 Cadillac CTS (followed by the Cadillac SRX, the Buick Rendezvous Ultra and the recently announced Cadillac STS and Buick Lacrosse). The V-6 VVT is designed in a family with a displacement range of 2.8L to 3.8L and architected to be either MPFI (multi-point fuel injection), turbocharged or direct injected.So there you go, an engine designed from the get go with TURBOCHARGING in mind. There is a Buick comcept over here that will have a production TT V6. Target power for this engine is 400hp and 400lb.ft (298kw/540nm) Cadillac will also use this TT V6 in a V series Cadillac, not to mension Opal using it, Alfa using it and the list goes on. Development costs are very little. I don't think GM will have to price it much above the XR6 T. As mensioned the Falcon is a porker! The VE will retain about the same weight. It will share the Cadillac CTS chassis and is pretty much right on the same dimensions as commodore. The loaded up Caddy weighs in about the same as a Calais (same 190kw, 5 speed auto), so VE will be lighter no doubt about it then the Falcon.

sykes Member 408 Member For: 21y 9m 19d Location: Brisbane (Parkinson) Posted 29/09/04 12:23 AM Share Posted 29/09/04 12:23 AM I can't really see Expensive Daewoo bringing out a Turbo V6 as others have said it is not reallt viable.And if they were going to do it, why wouldn't they have done it with their latest release instead of their 195kw top of the reange super dooper V6.Because they have NOTHING! to compete with the XR6 Turbo. And it has now been out for what 3 years, why give Ford another what? say 6 months before they release another what would the next one be WA or some crappy name like that.Just my 2cents worth anyway!

Save the engine everyone is talking about (and its working look at this FORD forum talking about it saying it wont happen) and release it in their REAL new car. Expensive Daewoo dont need to release the turbo V6 right now, they sell their cars still no problem, so no need to rush it out on market.

Until they reveal it its not even worth talking about. Even if there are turbo versions doesn't mean jack. They will only go into pricey cars such as Alfas and Saabs, not 40K crappadores. How many Expensive Daewoo loving bogans would pay more for a turbo 6 than say an SV8, cause it would be at least 5k more expensive than that, maybe even closer in price to the SS.

Posted 01/10/04 01:45 AM Share Posted 01/10/04 01:45 AM They don't realise, it isn't just developement, to make a turbo for a v6 not just financially viable, but technically viable, it needs to be TT. If nothing else, your production cost goes up stupidly high because of the nature of a TT setup and the equipment involved. I just don't see it happening cheaply, no matter who GM are making them for......

I guess we all will just have to wait and see what happens... Really 5 yrs ago I'm sure it would of been abit of a giggle to think Ford making a turbo Falcon XR6 :lol: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/12280-holden-sv6-turbo/page/16/#findComment-171200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
