Fuel Cells have been Heralded as the new Green Messiah for as long as I have been involved in engine Design 12 odd years, I Have worked with Honda and respect them a great deal but a cannot see anything that will work in the next 12 years especially in the + 1.5 tonne 4 x 4 market. Diesel will be King for the next 10 years But its my job so I would say that wouldn't I.

The GM 4.5L V-8 is a single turbo with as you can see from the photo reversed flow heads,the exhaust is in the center V, feedsdirectly into the single VG turbo, and the intake is integrated into the valve cover which have the intercoolers build into them.

This motor is currently used in the 2007 Range Rover. Just hope the PSA DT17 diesel will be put into the Territory! 4.5L ok not bad but still a massive motor compared to the PSA Peugeot Citroën and Ford developed diesel that gets 199Kw and 640nm from a 3.6L Direct Injection Twin Turbo V8 diesel.

Only problem for GM is they don’t have a 5 speed, car grade auto that will handle that torque

They’ll have to buy the Touareg V10 trannie from VW – that already handles more than 700Nm

Now that is tree hugging... not a V8 which brings fuel consumption down from levels that will deplete the earths oil in 30years now in 39years! 700Nm of torque is crazy… but ‘tree hugging engine’. 1 year after this engine is released (2010) Honda is supposedly releasing a Hydrogen cell vehicle.

From a GM engine. I would have never thought they were capable of designing something like that. :) Steve Wow 700Nm of torque. From a GM engine.
