Until now, this has remained unconfirmed, but a new report from The Korean Car Blog claims that it has proof of the engine’s existence.
The site received images from Blood Type Racing, which happened to be at the Chicago Auto Show displaying its own Genesis Coupe BTR Edition, and it was privy to the new 3.3-liter engine and its data. There is no mention of how Blood Type Racing got this information and how this engine went unseen at the Chicago Auto Show, but we’ll entertain the idea.
According to the data provided, this 3.3-liter V-6 produces a respectable 365 horsepower, but its 379 pound-feet of torque is what’s really astounding. That gives the new 3.3-liter twin-turbo engine 27 more ponies than the current 3.8-liter and an extra 84 pound-feet of torque. This makes me – and the Korean Car Blog – wonder what Hyundai will do with the 3.8-liter engine now.
