2024 Volvo Penta V8 DPS 321 kW/430 hp

Volvo Penta Aquamatic Sterndrive V8-DPS is a totally integrated package, powered by the 8-cylinder, 5.3-liter or 6.2-liter, freshwater-cooled, direct-injected gasoline engine with catalyst. Working together with the perfectly matched DPS Duoprop drive, this package offers very low emission levels, excellent handling, and impressive acceleration power.

Features may include:

• The compact engine-drive package facilitates installation. Thanks to the aluminum cylinder block and cylinder head, the low-friction, lightweight pistons, and a cast-aluminum oil pan, the power-toweight ratio is excellent.

• The direct injection fuel system enables high compression ratio with more energy coming from each drop of fuel – thus reducing both fuel consumption and emission levels.

• With the variable valve timing, each movement of the intake and exhaust valve can be optimized for speed and load. Combustion will always be correct irrespective of rpm, resulting in higher torque and acceleration across the whole rpm range.

• The freshwater cooling system makes the engine last longer and run better. The closed-loop system eliminates seawater exposure inside the engine, prevents corrosion and improves the engine’s durability and resale value.

• With the Easy Drain system, the engine is drained from raw water in just minutes. Thanks to the anti-siphon valve, this is possible with the boat still in the water.

• Hydrodynamic design and high gear train efficiency for higher speeds and better performance provide an amazing boating experience. Duoprop propellers are designed to form a vital part of the driveline, providing highly efficient and predictable handling,
