The Tau® 5.0L V8 has earned a Ward’s 10 Best Engines award for 2011. The high-pressure die-cast engine block is entirely aluminum. A Tuned Induction System (TIS) improves both low-end torque and high-end horsepower, while Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT) maximizes power. Further details like the timing chain drive system, serpentine belt and iridium double-tipped spark plugs help make Equus one of the most fuel-efficient luxury cars in its class. 8-speed Automatic TransmissionHyundai engineers designed this high-performance transmission specifically for Equus. Precise gear ratios and lightweight components make it highly responsive and a perfect complement to the Tau 429-hp V8. Whether in automatic or SHIFTRONIC® manual shift mode, it also has the capability to achieve torque converter lock-up above fist gear which dramatically closes the fuel-efficiency gap between automatic and manual transmissions |
