VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept for adjusting the intake cam-
shafts and switching the lift of the intake
valves.
The system first dif ferentiates bet ween
driver inputs that typify normal, everyday
driving and those inputs that demand
maximum performance. The electronic
engine management system then imper -
ceptibly adapts valve operation to
the prevailing conditions. This results
in instant acceleration and extremely

smooth running.
In short, VarioCam Plus provides excellent
acceleration power with comparatively
low fuel consumption.
Integrated dry-sump lubrication.
Integrated dr y-sump lubrication ensures
a reliable supply of oil even when a
sport y driving st yle is adopted and the
vehicle is experiencing powerful lateral

acceleration. It also has additional cool -
ing functions.
The oil tank is located in the engine,
thereby eliminating the need for an exter -
nal oil tank and saving space and weight.
For fuel consumption, CO
2 emissions and efficiency class, please refer to page 131.
To reduce power losses and increase
ef ficiency, an electronically controlled oil
pump supplies the lubricating points
inside the engine as and when required.
It optimises the supply of oil, improves
fuel economy and thereby reduces emis -
sion levels.
