Volvo Penta V8-380 & V8-430

Better fuel efficiency
The new V8 380 has 24 per cent faster acceleration and is 11 per cent more fuel efficient than its predecessor in the Volvo Penta engine range. The new V8 430 – the most powerful model in Volvo Penta’s marine diesel engine line-up – delivers 14 per cent faster acceleration and provides 10 per cent better fuel economy than its predecessor. “You’ll feel the difference the instant you open the throttle,” says Ron Huibers, president of Volvo Penta of the Americas. “At virtually any rpm level, the torque is nothing short of amazing. These new-technology engines provide our customers with proven quality, reliability, fuel economy and performance,” adds Huibers.
