MAN Engines & Components presents the new V8-1200 for yachts and pleasure craft in the 50 to 60 foot class. At the 40th boot in Düsseldorf the 1200hp diesel engine (882 kW) made its first public appearance. The appearance of the V8-1200 marks a logical addition to the selection of V-engines from the Engines & Components division of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG. With its 1200hp (882 kW) the 8-cylinder offers superb acceleration for yachts and pleasure craft in the 50 to 60 foot class. Maximum torque of 4000 Nm at as low as 1200 rpm sends a yacht into the planing phase fast, achieving high speeds in next to no time. Optimal design of the dynamic V8 engine enables it to maintain 1200 hp (882 kW) performance from 2100 through 2350 rpm. Here MAN engineers have demonstrated in unequalled fashion that a powerful engine can be both lightweight and compact. At 1.56 kilograms per horsepower, the new V8-1200 is even lighter in relation to power than existing MAN V-engines for virtually unaltered dimensions. Engines come with an SAE1 flywheel case to save space and weight. Cooling is by a plate heat exchanger, which allows flexible configuration of the cooling system. An advantage in engine installation by a boat builder is the modified exhaust system with a central gas outlet. All parts needing maintenance such as fuel and oil filters are arranged for ease of access. The water pump is driven by a gear instead of a belt.
