The Mitsubishi 8A8 engine is a range of V8 powerplants produced by Mitsubishi Motors since 1999. The only variant to date is the ''8A80'', a 4.5 L with double overhead camshafts and gasoline direct injection (GDI) technology. Financial pressures forced the company to discontinue sales of the Proudia and Dignity, the only vehicles in its range to which it was fitted, after only fifteen months.〔("Streamlining of production capacity and model portfolio" ), Mitsubishi Motors press release, March 28, 2001〕 However, the two vehicles were developed in partnership with the Hyundai Motor Company of South Korea, with whom Mitsubishi has had a longstanding relationship.〔("Mitsubishi Motors Supplies Hyundai Motor Co. with GDI Technology for New V8 GDI Engine" ), Mitsubishi Motors press release, April 28, 1999〕 While Mitsubishi makes the cylinder heads and other GDI-related equipment, Hyundai casts the aluminium block, and other major internal components.〔("Mitsubishi's new flagships" ), Jack Yamaguchi, ''Automotive Engineering International Online'', March 2000〕 Hyundai's version of the Proudia/Dignity, the Equus, proved more successful, and this has been the sole application of the powerplant since 2001. Hyundai replaced the engine with its newly developed ''Tau'' V8 in 2008 when the second generation rear wheel drive Equus replaced the first model.〔("Inside Line: Future Vehicles Preview" ), edmunds.com〕 ==8A80 (1999–2008)== *''Displacement'' — 4498 cc *''Bore'' — 86 mm〔 *''Stroke'' — 96.8 mm *''Bore pitch'' — 95 mm〔 *''Compression ratio'' — 10.7:1 *''Power'' — 206 kW (280 PS) at 5000 rpm *''Torque'' — 412 N·m (304 lb·ft) at 4000 rpm 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mitsubishi 8A8 engine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
