Weâ€™ve brought you the initial announcement details regarding the VC-Turbo engineâ€”one of Nissanâ€™s forthcoming technologies designed to revolutionize conventional internal combustion motorsâ€”and now we want to take a moment to dive deeper into what the upcoming motor will offer.Â

Slated to appear on a new Infinity QX50 SUV that will first be seen at a November 28th Los Angeles media event, the VC-Turbo utilizes a variable compression ratio system that boosts thermal efficiency of the motor. This will allow future Nissan vehicles, likely including models such as the Murano, to generate more power from a single unit of fuel.

Fresh details on the VC-Turbo reveal that it will utilize fresh software and electronics to achieve its more optimal compression ratios. This solves many of the issues presented by todayâ€™s conventional gasoline engines. Specifically, the new motor will replace bigger 3.5-liter models in the Japanese automakerâ€™s lineup,Â instead existing as an intelligently designed, turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder.

Gasoline-fueled engines arenâ€™t dead yet. Nissan, a leader in the all-electric movement, hasnâ€™t lost their faith in the virtues of the classic motor configuration. Instead, the Japanese automaker is poised to introduce new internal combustion technologies expressly designed to prolong its shelf life.

Head of Nissanâ€™s gasoline engine project group, Shinichi Kiga, says that one of their forthcoming internal combustion engine technologies is scheduled for debut in Los Angeles on Nov. 28th at a media event. The variable compression ratio system will first see its introduction via a new Infinity QX50 sport utility vehicle, although itâ€™s likely other machines, including the Pathfinder, will benefit in the future.

The variable compression ratio system will be integrated as part of the VC-Turbo engine included under the hood of the refreshed QX50. This motor stands apart from current setups thanks to its heightened thermal efficiency, which refers to how much â€œoomphâ€ a power plant produces from a single unit of fuel. Instead of the 20- to 30-percent efficiency average commonly seen today, the technology is set to deliver a maximum of approximately 40-percent.
