Hyundai Tau engine

The Hyundai Tau is a family of gasoline V8 engines produced by the Hyundai Motor Company, which replaced the Omega engine line. The first version, the 4.6-litre Tau MPi, has a die-cast aluminium block and heads, double overhead camshafts, continuous variable valve timing and multi-port fuel injection. It powered the 2008 to 2012 Hyundai Genesis and the Equus, and Hyundai showed a supercharged version at the 2008 SEMA show. The Tau GDi uses gasoline direct injection and was offered as a 5.0-litre engine of 429 horsepower, with a second version from 2015 raising compression from 11.5 to 11.8. The 4.6-litre Tau V8 was named to the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 2009 and 2010, and the 5.0-litre followed in 2011.
