Volvo Penta IPS - Forget everything you knew or thought about inboard power…
this is truly revolutionary!
Welcome to the future of Inboard Volvo Penta Marine Engine Performance.
In the late 1990s, Volvo Penta marine engineers were assigned a formidable task: to make boating more fun. They succeeded in not only making boating more fun, but they have also achieved a milestone in marine engineering.
Volvo Penta IPS has fundamentally changed the marine propulsion paradigm: the way we measure marine engines is no longer by comparing dollars per horsepower. Today’s measure is dollars per knot of boat speed achieved.
With the Inboard Performance System,Volvo Penta has established the new, higher standard to which all other inboard marine performance will be compared.
