august Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 another interesting page: http://www.autoweb-france.com/index.php?rub=3&essai=137 PRV motor huh? was it a PRV block with the fancy Mi16 style multi pipe head?

JunktionFET Posted October 18, 2005 Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yes it was the 3.0 liter PRV--has a larger bore than the 2.8 we are familiar with. From what I understand, only the Peugeot version of the motor used the heads with the 12 exhaust ports... the Citroen version of the car allegedly did not. In fact, I don't even think a 24 valve version of the motor was used in the Citroen. I don't know for sure though. Anyway, despite whatever problems the 605 may or may not have had, I think it is an attractive car and probably not to shabby to drive either. One overseas road test preview I read in Car & Driver indicated how well balanced the car was. Though he did think the power steering might've been a bit too boosted given the character of the car in general, I do remember the comment that he was genuinely unable to tell where the drive wheels were. That is an impressive comment for a FWD car housing a large torquey motor. This is a cutaway image of the engine where you can see part of one of the headers http://www.peugeotclub.org/peugeot/images/605v24.jpg I've seen other pictures that have the engine all polished up--very pretty. I'm sure there is a lot of power potential locked away in that motor, like the Mi16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
august Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 badass no doubt.. I wonder why they went to the ES non prv motor in 95. PRV licencing maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunktionFET Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 The PRV motor is a 90 degree design and I'm sure that made it difficult to fit in smaller FWD cars. The new ES V6 is 60 degrees, and I believe it is also lighter. Plus with it being a new engine, they can attach the buzz words "ALL NEW" to it and make it more appealing. Of course, that would be for the dumbed-down North American market. Perhaps they are more sensible in Europe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
