SVC Variable Compression Engine
The SVC engine combines the excellent fuel consumption of a 1.6 liter
engine and the power of 3 liter engine. During normal driving the
engine uses high compression to acchieve low fuel consuption. When the
driver requests a fast acceleration the engine responds by changing the
compression ratio to aviod knock at the same time as it boost the
engine using the compressor.
