You’re right there are some new naturally aspirated freaks of nature out there right now,
but that’s why I said there’s not a lot of V6’s out there with significantly more power.
I didn’t say there wasn’t any. That French monstrosity in the 350z is pretty cool. The
only thing I don’t like about it is it’s French.
The (N/A) heavy hitters in Germany right now is the Porsche Cayenne V6 at 290hp and the
VW Touareg V6 at 280hp.
Back in 2001 the most powerful (N/A) v6 you could buy was in the Acura NSX-T
3.2 L V-6 engine with 290 hp @ 7,100 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque and it
still had less torque then the Isuzu 3.5.
In 2001 The most powerful (N/A)V6 made in America was the Chrysler
EGG. High-Output 3.5L in the Plymouth Prowler. at 253hp and it was the
only American V6 with more power then the Isuzu 3.5.
In 2001 The most powerful (N/A) V6 made in Germany was the Mercedes 3.2L E32 at 218hp.
PS: You’re right about the transmission, but the engine is hard to beat.![]()
