Equus Performance

A performance vehicle
wrapped in
luxury features.

The Equus is powered by an award-winning Gasoline
Direct Injection (GDI) 429-horsepower V8 engine.
The advanced 8-speed automatic transmission delivers smooth power
in an instant or efficient interstate touring as the driver demands.
And a well-balanced, rear-wheel-drive layout gives Equus the foundation to
perform less like a traditional luxury car and more like a high-performance sports sedan.

Rear-Wheel Drive

The very nature of rear-wheel drive shifts the Equus closer to a more ideal 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution. This means the engine, transmission, driveshaft and rear differential provide better dynamic balance. The larger rear tires and springs take on their fair share of the workload, offering a smoother, more stable ride, with greater maximum stopping power and enhanced handling and traction under hard acceleration.

Equus performance

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 Transmission

Hyundai 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 first gear which dramatically closes the fuel-efficiency gap between automatic and manual transmissions.

Electronic Air Suspension

An available upgrade on the Lexus LS 460, Electronic Air Suspension is standard on the Equus. This system helps maintain consistent vehicle height and pitch regardless of load and road conditions, resulting in a consistent, comfortable ride.

Continuous Damping Control

Much more sophisticated than typical shocks, CDC is an electronic damping system that noticeably increases ride comfort and overall driving dynamics at the same time. Sensors monitor values for body, wheel, and lateral acceleration, then use them to generate the ideal damping forces for each wheel on a continuous basis. This minimizes body roll and makes acceleration and deceleration stable, steady and smooth. Like a more high-performance feel? Select Sport Mode with sport-level damping for a firm, more responsive ride.
