For more than a century now, automotive engineers have struggled with an unavoidable balancing act when it comes to engine compression. Now, thanks to an innovation from Infiniti, they may get to ...

While we like to think of 2002 as being part of a high-tech age, our beloved internal combustion engine hasn't really changed much in the last 50 years. We're still using pushrods and overhead valves, ...

We might be covering ground that's well trampled for many, but the static compression ratio of an engine is simple to understand: it's all the volume of a cylinder above the compression ring at Bottom ...

If you know much about how engines work, the idea of a variable compression ratio seems almost crazy. The idea isn't new, in fact Saab claims to have been working on it since the 1980s, but it's never ...

At first glance, the concept of engine compression is simple enough:It's the ratio of the volume of the combustion chamber and bore when thepiston is at bottom dead center (BDC) versus when it is at ...

As we near the end of the road for internal-combustion engines, manufacturers are spending big money to eke out small gains in fuel economy. The latest miracle is Nissan’s VC-T engine, the first ...

Formula 1’s next-generation power units are not even on the grid yet and they are already reshaping the competitive landscape. At the heart of the storm is a seemingly dry technical detail, the ...

Dim’s fascination with cars began when he was just six. Born into a family of car enthusiasts and racing drivers, he started learning basic mechanics and driving from an early age. While he loves ...

Swiss marine power company WinGD and marine engine manufacturer Hanwha Engine have produced the world's first X72DF-2.2 VCR engine equipped with Variable Compression Ratio technology. This ...

Despite the turbulence Nissan has faced over the past few years, some of its technology is undeniably impressive. Perhaps the crowning jewel of this engineering power is its variable compression ...

In a world full of similarly priced compact luxury crossovers, one way to differentiate yourself is with what’s under the hood. That’s the approach Infiniti has taken with the all-new 2019 Infiniti ...
