This all new power plant entered the marine market without any immediate competitors, given its truly athletic construction and a dry weight (excl. transmission) of only 720 lbs. Compared with other marine diesel engines of similar output, the weight advantage is far over 220 lbs. per engine, while the running characteristics of TDI 225-6 further contributes to put it into a class of its own.

The V-6 base engine with a capacity of 3 litres is one of latest designs in the engine portfolio of Volkswagen group, and otherwise found in luxury cars like Audi A 6, Audi A8, Audi Q7 or the highly successful Volkswagen SUV Touareg and the Phaeton. This origin explains the extreme refinement of the engine at any power setting, made possible by its piezo controlled 3rd generation common rail injection system. The TDI 225-6 delivers its 225 hp at 4.200 rpm, and produce 330 ft lbs. of torque at only 2.000 rpm, ideal to accelerate even heavier powerboats onto the plane.

An additional advantage of the new engine is its extremely compact dimensions, especially its length of only 32 inches sets it apart from other marine diesels which are, in this performance class, mainly inline engines. Boat builders installing Volkswagen Marine TDI 225-6 will gain a big opportunity to use more space for storage or accommodation. This engine is configured for sterndrives using Mercruiser Bravo 1 and Mercruiser Bravo III outdrives.
