+1...but not around,
more than 450 depending on how they tune it. This thing can also run on E85 if need be. Which is great, because that'll allow these fuel-burning V8's to stay around for a while longer. Instead of dying with the Electro-car revolution.
It means that the LS3 is one of the last Generation IV engines. And this prototype engine is basically what the Generation V small-blocks will be like.
I can't tell you how fast I was reading that article when I saw "V8 with Direct Injection". I was like, Wha--?!?! Then I just plowed through it.
They also mentioned that with DI, it can allow for the same power numbers as a conventional big engine, but in a smaller-displacement engine. That'll contribute to fuel mileage as well as VVT, and AFM.
Now to ask the Critical question:
Generation V......or Hemi?
