Hot vee turbocharged engine
{{Short description|Type of internal combustion engine}}
A hot vee turbocharged engine (or hot V) is a V engine with one or more turbochargers in the "V" between the cylinder banks. This reverses the gas flow in the traditional layout for V engines where there is a single intake manifold in the center of the V (the "cold side").{{r|Motor Trend}} The hot vee offers a shorter air path from the turbocharger, through an intercooler, and back into the engine intake, which can reduce turbo lag.{{r|GM Inside News}}
