Like the previously announced 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models, direct
fuel injection technology continues to be a central point of the efficiency enhancements in the 2009 Targa.
In addition to the transmission, Inside Line's source is saying that the upcoming GEN - V small block V8 that will power the new Corvette will
continue with the 16 - valve pushrod architecture and will see the addition of
fuel - saving
technologies like direct
injection and a variable valve lift system.
