Honda Car India will be launching its top-of-the-line Honda Accord with the 3.5 Litre V6 engine in the last week of March 2009 in India. The V6 Accord also has the distinction of having of the biggest and one of the most powerful engines on a front wheel drive car.
The powerful i-VTEC motor develops a very healthy 270 bhp which will be detuned for the Indian fuel to around 250 bhp which is still more than enough for some breath-taking performance numbers. It’s unclear whether the engine will feature the Variable Cylinder Management technology(VCM) or not, which switches off 2 or even 3 cylinders on the V6 motor under part throttle or consistent cruise mode to save on fuel, in which case the ‘ECO’ lights up on the instrument panel.
Though there will be no manual option as the engine will be mated to a 5-Speed Automatic Transmission. The V6 model will also feature 17 inch wheels and thicker anti-roll bars to rein in all the extra power.
The V6 version will cost around 1.5 Lakhs more than the 4 Cylinder variant.
