Hyundai Tau 4.6L V8 + SC = 460HP

*sorry if repost*
Hyundai Debuts 460hp SC V8 Prototype Engine

















The 4.6 liter Tau V8 offered in the Hyundai Genesis Sedan normally cranks out 380 HP, but this prototype engine gets a screw-type roots supercharger with a novel clutched pulley, a water-to-air intercooler, and cylinder deactivation. This results in 460 HP and 435 lb-ft of torque while returning 8% better fuel economy than the N/A V8.

The flow path is rather unique as well, with the supercharger intake at the rear, charged air going down into the intercooler and then back up into a split plenum which feeds the throttle at the rear of the engine. There aren't any formal plans to introduce this engine to any product at the moment, but it exists, which means there's a gleam in someone's eye. Perhaps sooner or later we'll get to run the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec Sedan versus the Chrysler 300C SRT8.

The clear part on top of the SC would be sweet. Quite impressive. Hyundai is definitely starting to turn the brand image into something better.

i think the clear parts are to display the internals only.. i mean.. its plastic.. it would melt/break apart if used on a real engine

Actually it is possible. Some people are running Lexan valve covers, but I highly doubt Hyundai would put the clear shields into production. It begins to look bad real quick once you start actually using the car.

Jaguar's blown V8
Range Rover's blown V8
BMW's TT V8
BMW's N/A V8
Merc's N/A 6.2L V8 ( barely )

Not shabby.

At least there are a few Detroit build V8's ahead of them lol
