Nissan's two litre SR20VE engine developed from the SSS Pulsar's SR20, ATTESA torque-split 4x4 system (as in the Bathurst --> Skyline GT-R coupes and the USA-market Infiniti 4WD), CVT-M6 continuously variable transmission, Birdview computer-map navigation system, and Xenon gas headlights. The engine has a variable valve lift and timing system (VVL). The CVT gearbox can also be used in a manual, 6-step, mode.
