INFINITI has worked on its VC-Turbo lateral movement of the connecting rods,
technology since 1996. The multi-link creating just 10dB of vibration noise – 20 dB
mechanism, which holds the key to the variable less than a conventional four-cylinder engine
compression ratio, was invented in 1998

INFINITI is targeting up to a 27% no balance shafts – conventional four-cylinder
improvement in fuel efficiency over engines require two. Removing them offsets the
similarly-powered V6 gasoline engines space occupied by the multi-link system
