When you hear of a car that has been tuned or modified to produce additional horsepower, you’ll often hear it referred to as “souped up.” This term goes hand-in-hand with hot rodding, so surely its origins must have to do with the early car-modding scene — right?
Soup up is the phrasal verb meaning to modify something to increase its power, efficiency, or impressiveness. Soop up is a common misspelling, and supe up is a less common one (both soop and supe have rare senses that have nothing to do with increasing power or efficiency).
How do you spell souped up cars?
Souped up is the correct spelling (and gets more search engine hits than suped up, at that). The term souped up predates the invention of superchargers and initially referred to any horse that had been injected with something to increase its speed.
