Vauxhall Viceroy Engines and Transmissions

Every Vauxhall Viceroy engine in this generation runs on gasoline, favouring smooth, flexible pulling power over outright revs. That suits a heavy sedan: the powertrain stays quiet at motorway speeds, while the rear-driven drivetrain and its transmission hand torque to the back wheels for balanced, unhurried progress.
