toyobaru vs hyundai genesis

[2006fronty]

I read in my latest Motortrend that the Genesis 4 cylinder engine is basically the same engine that the Mitsubishi Evolution has just detuned, Mitsubishis 2.0 is a world engine or something.

It's a GEMA engine so it's part of the partnership between Chrysler/Mitsubishi/Hyundai. In the program all three companies use the same basic engine blocks (1.8L 2.0L 2.4L) and then build the top end to meet their needs. While all 3 spent the same amount of money on the program the original engine block was built and designed by Hyundai. So it's not taken from the Evo and its not detuned, it's only similarity is the block which Hyundai designed anyway.

GEMA engines are in:
Genesis
SRT-4
Evo
and many lesser cars
