underhood

Spanish translation: bajo el capó

Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / engines
English term or phrase: underhood
It’s important to note here that all of the cars listed so far have V-6 engines underhood, something that might be surprising to someone used to the old XXX’s V-8-only mantra.

Spanish translation:bajo el capó
Explanation:
No creo que "underhood" añada ningún matiz especial relativo al diseño del vehículo. Desde mi punto de vista, tiene sólo un valor expresivo en la frase.
