Anyone know if how much power can the transmission on the Telluride safely handle?

Krug · May 1, 2019

I'm thinking 500whp max.

If it's the same 8 speed that is used in the Stinger, it allegedly is good up to 800 HP.

Great thread. I do wonder if its the same transmission as the Stinger as well. It would only make sense since they're both 8-speed

Good to know even though most of us will probably never exceed 300whp lol

I remember reading that Genesis plans to release an SUV more based on the Stinger, wonder how that's coming along.
