N62 - New Generation Engine

Purpose of The System

The N62B44 engine is a completely new development from the NG (New Generation) series and is available as a B44 (4.4 liter).

The development objectives were:

- Reduction in fuel consumption
- Reduction in emissions
- Increased power
- Improved torque and torque curve
- Improved engine acoustics

To achieve these objectives, enhancements were made in the following areas:

- Engine mechanicals
- Treatment of exhaust emissions
- Valve timing
- Engine management control
- Intake air flow

The most important features of the new N62 engine are:




- 8 cylinders in a 9O° V configuration
- 2 four-valve cylinder heads
- Light-alloy design
- Newly-developed variable intake manifold
- Valvetronic system

In conjunction with the Variable Intake Manifold, the Valvetronic system adapts the intake valve lift to ensure optimum cylinder filling. The throttle valve use is limited during engine operation to maintain a constant intake manifold vacuum.

The N62 is the best engine in its class. At this time there is no other engine on the market which uses comparable technology.
