Abstract: A kit for producing automobiles having different engine variants of auto-ignition internal combustion engines, each engine having two cylinder banks arranged in a V-shape, and components of a turbocharging and/or exhaust gas system is described. All internal combustion engines have mounting elements enabling installation of the components of the turbocharging and/or exhaust gas system in an identical relative position with respect to the internal combustion. Identical or modularized parts can then be used for the turbocharging and/or exhaust gas systems for all engine variants which can be mounted in the same sequential order. Automobiles having different engine variants can thus be manufactured with particularly low inventory and assembly costs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a motor vehicle with a combustion engine (10), from which exhaust gas is conducted to a turbine (16) of an exhaust-gas turbocharger (18), wherein exhaust gas can be diverted in flow direction of the exhaust gas upstream and downstream of the turbine (16) at respective withdrawal points (30, 32) and routed via a respective pipe system (34, 36) to an intake tract (38) for the combustion engine (10). It is hereby possible to cool exhaust gas routed into the intake tract (38) in a particularly simple manner and/or to adjust an amount of exhaust gas routed into the intake tract (38) in a particularly simple manner. The invention also relates to a method of operating a combustion engine (10) of such a motor vehicle, which method also allows to cool exhaust gas routed into the intake tract (38) in a simple manner and/or to adjust an amount of exhaust gas routed into the intake tract (38) in a simple manner.
