Direct Injection

Reportedly, the new Sonata/i40 will be getting an upgraded 2.4L Theta II GDI engine rated at 200 HP.

The current Theta II in the Sonata gets 175 HP, so that's a bump of 25 HP (if Hyundai manages to hit the target of 200 HP).

When the Genesis gets updated GDI engines, it's likely that we'll be seeing around 310 HP for the 3.8 and over 400 HP for the 4.6.

Not to mention increased fuel economy and cleaner tail pip emissions. The only negative is that it will be trickier for the aftermarket performance shops to get more power out of the engines.

On another note, dont forget the 8 speed transmission.

Ok so what would a 425 Hp direct injected Tau be good for?

The nanny already kicks in a partial throttle...

having said that, If there was much better MPG I would be jealous of that.
