This link is even better: theautochannel.com It is about the Opel Signum2 concept car to debut in Frankfurt next month. About the engine: Debut of prototype V8 direct-injection gasoline engine from GM Powertrain Power and Refinement: GM V8 Concept Engine with Direct Gasoline Injection "Beneath the hood of the Signum2 concept car is the prototype of an all-new, lightweight V8 engine with gasoline direct injection, developed in the USA by General Motors Powertrain. Thanks to two camshafts integrated centrally into the engine block and a cylinder-bank angle of only 75 degrees, the so-called 'Global XV8' is so compact it can be installed transversely, as in the Signum2, or longitudinally, making it ideally suited for a future career as a global GM engine. With three valves per cylinder and 4.3-liters displacement, the refined, all-aluminum power unit generates 220 kW/300 hp and accelerates the front-wheel drive concept car to up to 250 km/h (electronically limited). Despite this high power output, it needs only 9.8 liters of super-grade fuel per 100 kilometers (MVEG). This is thanks to the air-assisted injection of fuel directly into the combustion chamber and deactivation of up to four cylinders under partly open throttle." This is from RFritz on yahoo.
