Harley Davidson Evolution Engine Porsche

It also revved to 9000 rpm Autoweek reports.

Harley davidson evolution engine porsche. Through its history Harley-Davidson has embraced technological evolution while respecting the heritage of its brand with engines that produce real-world performance for real-life riders. It was made in the 1340 cc displacement for Harley-Davidson Big V-twins bikes replacing the Shovelhead engine until 2000 when the last EVO was placed in a production factory custom FXR4. It might be gone but it wont be forgotten.

Maximum power the EVO engine makes about 122 HP. It will sell for 16995. The engine design is often credited with saving Harley-Davidson from bankruptcy after the management buyout and subsequent reorganization that the company went through during the early 1980s.

The H-D Evolution V-twin was introduced in 1983. Harley partnered with Porsche Engineering Services to develop the street engine and the Kansas City engine line loosely based on the VR1000 engine. Porsche was eventually selected and subcontracted at the end of 1979 to design and develop the Nova engine and transmission.

The Evolution engine is an air-cooled 45-degree V-twin engine manufactured from 1984 by Harley-Davidson for the companys motorcycles. The V-Rod Revolution engine. This was where the alliance with Porsche came into the picture and rumour has it that hardcore engineers within Harley-Davidson itself did not want to work on the blasphemy that was the liquid-cooled Revolution engine hence why Porsche was roped in.

One of Harleys newest clean-sheet advanced-design efforts is the Revolution Max 1250 engine an all-new liquid-cooled V-Twin to power the Pan America 1250 and Pan America 1250 Special. It was made in the 1. Engine to save the company and bring it.

This week I visited Stuttgart where good friend Jeromy Moore works as a race design engineer at the Porsche Engineering Groups Weissach Development Centre where the V-Rod engine was. It produces 115 horsepower at 8500 rpm the most of any Harley. After all the Germans are responsible for making the Revolution engine that made its way into the impressive line of muscle bikes Harley-Davidson called.
