A first intake collecting passage connects to first independent intake passages of the first bank and a second intake collecting passage connects to second independent intake passages of the second bank. The intake passages are arranged in the space between two banks below the mechanical supercharger. A first branch intake passage connects the first intake collecting passage with the intercooler and a second branch intake passage connects the second intake collecting passage with the intercooler.
