Responsive, On-Demand Power
Getting up to highway speeds quickly on I-35W in Fort Worth requires responsive, on-demand power. The 3.0-liter Twin-Turbo V6, internally designated as the VR30DDTT, utilizes optical speed sensors that allow the twin turbochargers to spin faster safely. This advanced sensor technology minimizes turbo lag, meaning the engine delivers immediate acceleration when you need to merge into fast-moving Texas highway traffic.
The engineering focus extends beyond peak horsepower to how that power is delivered. Delivering peak torque starting at just 1,600 rpm means you do not have to rev the engine high to feel its pulling power. This provides a smoother, more effortless driving experience whether you are accelerating from a stoplight in downtown Fort Worth or navigating tight corners on a weekend drive.
