Title: vr6 highline engine
Post by: ally_tee on 13 November 2005, 00:04
Hi, I'm interested in knowing how much horsepower the vr6 highline engine 2.8 litre version has standard, as I have a friend with a standard vr6 highline engine running around 190bhp, is this what the 2.8 highline engines produce, because on Parkers it says they run 174bhp, the same as a standard vr6 lump.
What is the difference between the two the standard 2.8 vr6 engine and the 2.8 vr highline engine, or is there no difference?
cheers

there is nothing special about a highline engine, its 174-176 bhp, the highline is the standard of model, I.E. a highline had a full leather interior and A/C etc. Usually only came in Mulberry and Black i think
