Mercury Racing unveils new 500 horsepower outboard motor

Supercharged 4.6-liter V8 under the hood

The boating season is in full swing and those who manufacture gear for it are not sitting idle. Mercury Racing is now introducing a new outboard engine that they refer to as a flagship model. Underneath the plastic cover sits a supercharged 4.6-liter V8 engine that delivers a whopping 500 horsepower. This is a 50 horsepower increase compared to the previous top version, and the torque has increased by ten percent. To ensure that the new engine doesn't fall apart, they have had to rebuild the gearbox, which is available in 20, 25, 30, or 35 inches. Connecting rods, rod bearings, and pistons have also been reinforced to handle the higher RPM of 6600. A new flywheel, among other things, provides faster acceleration.

The price for this beast is not currently disclosed. Read more about the engine on the link below.
