What does 3.0T mean for cars?

[Mitchell]

3.0T in cars refers to the use of a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The number 3.0 represents the engine's displacement, and the T indicates that the engine is equipped with a turbocharger. Simply put, a 3.0T engine is a 3.0L engine fitted with a turbocharger. Turbocharging is a technology that uses exhaust gases from the internal combustion engine to drive an air compressor. A turbocharger can significantly increase the engine's power and torque without increasing its displacement. The main function of turbocharging is to increase the engine's air intake, thereby enhancing its power and torque, making the car more powerful. After installing a turbocharger, an engine's maximum power can increase by 40% or more compared to when it is not turbocharged.
