One V6 to Do It All: The Ultimate Hybrid Revolution!

Horse Powertrain unveils the HORSE W30, a V6 hybrid engine that pushes the idea of mechanical modularity to new heights.
The HORSE W30 is a hybrid V6 designed to redefine the standards of electrified thermal engines and accelerate the transition to a new generation of hybrid powertrains.
In terms of performance, this noble V6 boasts an impressive base with up to 544 hp in thermal configuration, generating 700 Nm of torque with a maximum speed of 8,000 rpm. However, the real surprise comes in the sporty hybrid version, where the total output can exceed 800 hp, placing this V6 in a realm typically reserved for electrified supercars.

However, this engine is not just about excess. Thanks to an exceptionally compact design – only 160 kg – it could also be developed in much more moderate versions, with reduced power and optimized consumption, intended for urban vehicles. This rare flexibility opens the door to the democratization of the V6, even in compact segments.
Designed from the outset for hybridization, the HORSE W30 adopts a 90° V architecture, with either transverse or longitudinal mounting, and integrated turbochargers in the cylinder heads to maximize efficiency and compactness. This technical foundation turns it into a true “universal module” of the future.
Coupled with the 4LDHT hybrid transmission, the system becomes an ecosystem capable of adapting to very different usages, from everyday comfort to extreme performance.

What if the future of automobiles relied on a single mechanical base? A platform capable of equipping an entire range: economical city cars, versatile family SUVs, sporty convertibles with over 800 hp. A world where the engine would no longer be a constraint of segmentation, but a modular tool without limits, where thermal and electric could finally coexist in a fluid, intelligent, and fully unified logic.
