Award Winning Nissan VQ Engine*
	The VQ engine utilizes a high-pressure die-cast alluminum-alloy engine block, hollow crank shafts, alluminum oil pan, light-weight pistons and a smaller crank shaft. Reducing the weight of engine components does more than lighten the weight of the engine, it also reduces energy losses allowing engine speed to rise faster for improved reponse with less vibration. *"The Nissan 3.5-liter VQ V6 engine has been named to the annual Ward's 10 Best Engines list for the 11th straight year by Ward's Communications, Inc."
