中国的汽车产业比韩国的汽车产业要起源的早，但发展竟然这么慢。相比以下的报道，真的觉得有点失望，对国内的技术现状。希望有一天看到有中国品牌的身影


The 'Tau' V8 engine which made its debut in Hyundai's flagship sedan, Genesis, has made it onto the list of Ward's "10 Best Engines" for 2009 - the first time a Hyundai engine has appeared on the prestigious list.

Ward's Auto World editors tested the Tau V8 engine in Hyundai's all-new Genesis sedan recently and concluded, "The engine's velvety power delivery, competitive performance and attainable price epitomise the Korean auto maker's drive for world-class engineering."

The Korean designed and built 4.6-litre Tau V8 engine develops a maximum of 280 kW and a specific output of 61 kW per litre - the highest in its class - yet consumes just 9.4 litres / 100 km on the highway - the equivalent of many of its competitors' V6 engines.

The 2009 Hyundai Genesis is available with the Tau V8 combined with a ZF 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering the rewarding driving performance that premium sports sedan buyers demand.


"The critically acclaimed Hyundai Genesis and the Tau V8 engine were designed to rival the best premium sport sedans and V8 engines the world has to offer," said Scott Margason, national manager, Product Development, Hyundai Motor America. "Hyundai is particularly proud of Genesis and the Tau V8 engine as they embody the brand's commitment to performance and efficiency and are delivered to the customer with exceptional value."

The Tau V8 engine and the Hyundai Genesis are built at Hyundai's Ulsan Plant in Ulsan City, Korea.

The Ward’s 10 Best Engines for 2009 includes (engine and tested vehicle):

* Audi AG: 2.0L TFSI turbocharged DOHC I-4 (A4 Avant)
* BMW AG: 3.0L turbocharged DOHC I-6 (135i Coupe)
* BMW AG: 3.0L DOHC I-6 Turbodiesel (335d)
* Chrysler LLC: 5.7L Hemi OHV V-8 (Dodge Ram/Challenger R/T)
