The engine is GM's XV8 which will show up in a variety of vehicles including Pontiacs, Buicks, Opels and Saabs. Here is a blurb:
FRANKFURT, Germany - The Opel Signum² concept car, debuting at the Frankfurt International Motor Show (IAA), features General Motors' innovative global V8 concept engine (called XV8) showcasing several advanced technologies in a fuel efficient, V6-like package.
The all-new, technology-intensive XV8 concept engine provides the power and smoothness of a premium V8 and the fuel efficiency of a V6. Yet it fits into an engine bay sized for the width of a V6 and the length of a four-cylinder.
The all-aluminum 4.3-liter XV8 utilizes a unique three-valves-per-cylinder combustion chamber configuration, supporting the optimization of an air-assisted direct fuel injection system. The configuration features an industry first: two camshafts in the block. The XV8 produces 224 kW (300 horsepower) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque.
It will probably have it's first Saab application in the 9-5 successor due out in 2004-05.
