Powertrain Options and Availability
A 170-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 engine was the sole Park Avenue engine at first. In its second season, that engine was joined by a supercharged version. Supercharging, also used on the Pontiac Bonneville SSEi and Olds Ninety Eight Touring Sedan, aimed to increase power without lag or non-linear delivery--two drawbacks associated with turbochargers. The 205-horsepower supercharged V6 powers 1992-93 Ultras. It got a boost to 225 horsepower for 1994-95, then 240 horses for '96. Meanwhile, the base engine gained a bit of torque for 1993, but kept the same 170-horsepower rating. A 205 horsepower Series II 3.8-liter V6 became standard for '95.
