The V6 PRV engine is an overhead cam V6 automobile engine designed and manufactured by the company "Française de Mécanique" for PRV, an alliance of Peugeot, Renault and Volvo Cars. Sold from 1974 to 1998, it was produced in four displacements between 2.5 L and 3.0, and in both SOHC and DOHC and 2-valve and 4-valve per cylinder configurations.
DeLorean PRV engine in VIN 1522. The DeLorean's engine is a 2.85 L (174 cu in) SOHC Peugeot-Renault-Volvo (PRV) V6 engine. The U.S. federally–tuned, catalyst-equipped DeLorean engine is derated to 130 hp (132 PS; 97 kW) at 5,500 rpm and torque of 153 lb⋅ft (207 N⋅m) at 2,750 rpm. [7]
The galvanization process increased torsional rigidity by 60 per cent and bending resistance by 20 per cent, at a cost of a 30 kg (66 lb) weight gain. [7] Weight distribution was rather front heavy, with 62.9 per cent of the weight being over the front wheels (original petrol version). [11] The Espace was eventually launched by Renault in July ...
Fuel efficiency of the V6 was rated at 18 mpg ‑US (13 L/100 km; 22 mpg ‑imp) for the city and 27 mpg ‑US (8.7 L/100 km; 32 mpg ‑imp) on the highway. Factory acceleration estimates from standstill to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) were 11.5 seconds with the four-cylinder, and 10 seconds with the six.
The PRV engine in the naturally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2849 cc unit producing 120 kW; 160 hp (160 PS). The small power gain compensated for the weight increase, up by 92 kg (203 lb). Also available was the more powerful turbocharged model, which used a smaller (2.5-liter) displacement.
Based "on the principles of the Peugeot 504", [5] using its bulkhead, [6] doors, and part of the 504 floorpan, [7] and usually powered by the then-new 144 PS (106 kW) 2.7-litre V6 PRV engine, developed in conjunction with Renault and Volvo, [5] the car was Peugeot's first entry into the large luxury saloon market for 40 years - the most recent ...
The 262C used the PRV engine, a V6 engine developed jointly by Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo. [2] The engine used a Lambda-sond oxygen sensor system; this was the first use of this system on a production V engine .
The displacement of modern V6 engines is typically between 2.5 and 4.0 L (153 and 244 cu in), though larger and smaller examples have been produced, such as the 1.8 L (110 cu in) Mazda V6 used in the 1991–1998 Mazda MX-3, [2] or the 1.6 L (98 cu in) Mitsubishi V6 engine used in the 1992–1998 Mirage/Lancer, while the largest gasoline V6 ...
