The 340hp and 380hp variants of the supercharged gasoline V6
engine are shared with the F-TYPE sports car. These all-aluminum engines are
characterized by their immediate throttle response, linear power delivery and
unique intake and exhaust sound.
The 90-degree cylinder bank angle enables the roots-type
supercharger to be neatly packaged within the vee. Together with direct
injection and variable intake and exhaust valve timing, the supercharger helps
the engine generate a high torque output throughout the rev range, delivering
strong acceleration at all times.
Both variants are matched to eight-speed automatic
transmissions and all-wheel drive. The 380hp engine is exclusive to the F-PACE
S models, and can launch the performance SÚV from 0-60mph in only 5.1 seconds,
on to an electronically-limited top speed of 155mph3.
