volvo b8444s

The B8444S is an automobile V8 engine manufactured in Japan by Yamaha Motor Company for Volvo Cars.
Volvo began offering a V8 engine in its large P2 platform automobiles in 2005. It was initially offered only for the Volvo XC90 but later found its way in the second generation Volvo S80, and was mated to a six speed Aisin Seiki AWTF80-SC transmission of Japan also with a Swedish Haldex all-wheel drive system. The 4. 4 L V8 Volvo engine was built by Yamaha in Japan.
The B8444S shares its Yamaha origination, transverse layout, and 60 degree bank angle with the Ford SHO V8 engine. The two engines share many common dimensions including bore centers, stroke, bearing journal diameters, and deck height, but the die-cast open-deck aluminum Volvo block is clearly different from the sand-cast closed-deck aluminum SHO engine block....
