SinterCast-CGI Cylinder Block The Fully Assembled 4.4 Litre V8

[Stockholm, 21 June 2010] – Jaguar Land Rover, the first automotive company to introduce a high volume engine based on a Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) cylinder block, has unveiled its fourth CGI engine – a 4.4 litre V8 turbodiesel. Similar to the engine's 3.6 litre predecessor launched during 2006, the new 4.4 litre turbodiesel upgrade is based on a SinterCast-CGI cylinder block produced at the Tupy foundry in Brazil. The 4.4 litre upgrade delivers 230 kW (308 horsepower) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, representing 15% and 10% improvements respectively. Despite the larger displacement and the significant power increases, the new engine provides a 10% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the 3.6 litre predecessor. The engine satisfies Euro 5 emissions requirements and is expected to be available in dealer showrooms during autumn 2010.

"We are pleased that Jaguar Land Rover's positive experience with the 2.7, 3.0 and 3.6 litre SinterCast-CGI engines since 2003 has established CGI as the material of choice for this new engine" said Dr. Steve Dawson, President & CEO of SinterCast. "We look forward to expanding our collaboration with Jaguar land Rover, Ford and Tupy as we continue to support the development and production of high performance and environmentally friendly CGI diesel engines."
