3.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V63.7-liter DOHC 24-valve V6
V6 engine from the award-winning VQ series provides outstanding response. Large-displacement design provides more power (especially when accelerating and passing) and helps reduce engine stress by allowing the engine to work efficiently at any given speed.
Double overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve design enhances performance and engine efficiency by providing direct actuation of intake and exhaust valves.
Output of this engine makes it one of the most powerful engines among its primary competitors.

Output of this engine makes it one of the most powerful engines among its primary competitors.
Aluminum-alloy components improve performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control by reducing engine weight and allowing the engine to warm up more quickly.
Use of lightweight components improves response and helps diminish vibration by reducing energy losses during operation, allowing engine speed to rise faster.

Friction reduction technologyFriction reduction technology
Use of low-friction components improves engine efficiency, power, and durability by reducing friction (heat) and vibration.
Dry-film-coated pistons
Microfinished crankshaft and camshafts
Microfinishing is a separate manufacturing process that puts an ultra-smooth finish on rotating surfaces, helping enable the shafts to turn with the least possible resistance.
Diamond-like carbon coating on valve lifters
A super-smooth and super-hard coating applied to the valve lifters helps reduce wear.
Liquid-filled engine mount enhances comfort by reducing engine noise and vibration.
Fluid in one engine mount helps absorb engine vibrations before they reach the passenger compartment.
Timing-chain-driven camshafts Timing-chain-driven camshafts
Unlike timing belts, timing chains do not require scheduled maintenance inspections or replacement for the service life of the engine. Timing chains provide more precise and reliable actuation of camshafts.
Silent-type
The design of the camshaft timing chain helps reduce engine noise.
Timing-chain-driven water pump
The compact water pump is located inside the timing case, reducing engine size, improving reliability, and providing precise control of coolant circulation.
Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS)Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System (CVTCS
Valve timing is varied continuously to help improve power, driveability, fuel economy, and emissions.
Intake
VVEL continuously varies intake valve timing and valve lift to enhance acceleration, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce exhaust emissions. It works in conjunction with CVTCS.

NDIS provides consistent and reliable high voltage to the spark plugs for improved performance and longer life with less service. Individual coils located directly over each spark plug replace the mechanical distributor, spark plug wires, and single or shared coils of conventional ignition systems.
Nissan Direct Ignition System (NDIS)
NDIS provides consistent and reliable high voltage to the spark plugs for improved performance and longer life with less service. Individual coils located directly over each spark plug replace the mechanical distributor, spark plug wires, and single or shared coils of conventional ignition systems.

Iridium-tipped spark plugs
Iridium-tipped spark plugs
Ultra-small-diameter iridium center and ground electrodes reduce voltage requirement and help extend ignition system life.
Drive-by-wire provides more precise throttle control and better fuel economy. The system opens and closes the throttle electronically instead of using a conventional cable.
The integrated system coordinates communication and helps maximize efficiency among the vehicle’s major drivetrain components. It also eliminates the need for a heavy, bulky cruise control actuator.
An organ-style pedal enhances the feel and responsiveness of the throttle, especially for low-speed maneuvers.
Electronic sequential multi-point fuel injection
The system enhances overall driveability and, especially, hot and cold starting capability by injecting precise quantities of fuel at exactly the right moment in relation to valve timing and piston position.
Symmetric twin air intakeSymmetric twin air intake
Dual throttle chambers and tuned intake runners provide more precise air intake, producing greater power and lower emissions.
The low-restriction design improves power output and enhances torque at all rpm by reducing back pressure.
The system is tuned to provide quiet cruising, but to allow a pleasing high-performance sound during hard acceleration.

Dual tailpipes
Oil is cooled by engine coolant flow to help maintain consistent engine oil temperature.
Lightweight, high-capacity batteryLightweight, high-capacity battery
Added battery capacity provides longer battery life and more electrical power for quicker starting response under heavy demands.

Hmmm that's a good question. I think you have to opt for sport package to get the VLSD. But at the same, one paying 34K for a Touring model should expect a LSD in their sport coupe, right? I'll send the question to "proper authority" and find an answer.
