Twincam

All Giuliettas had a twincam four-cylinder engine with wet liners, plus four- or five-speed gearboxes and an excellent-handling chassis.

A Ford's sporty Taurus SHO ("Super High Output") made do with "just" a five-speed manual and 3.0 twincam V-6 on its 1989 debut.

Sidevvays behind the cockpit sat an upsized version of Rover's new K-series passenger-car engine, an advanced all-alloy four with twincams and 16 valves.
