Infiniti Reinvents The Combustion Engine – VC-Turbo In 60 Seconds

The combustion engine reinvented - Infiniti designed a unique linkage to enable a variable compression ratio engine. Compression ratio is the ratio of the maximum to minimum cylinder volume. Infiniti’s engine, through the use of linkages, can choose any compression ratio between 8:1 and 14:1 for any given scenario. To maximize horsepower, a lower compression ratio is used in combination with raised boost with the turbocharger. This lets the engine create power safely. For maximum efficiency, a high compression ratio is used, which increases thermal efficiency. This technology is used in the Nissan Altima, the pinnacle of driving joy.
