Plasma-fused sleeveless cylinders are lighter and 60 percent harder than steel. They also allow us to enlarge cylinder bores without increasing their dimensions--which creates 4.2 liters of big-bore displacement, without adding weight.

Midrange punch and instant throttle response created by Variable Camshaft Timing has to be felt to be believed.
