an intake line flowing an intake gas supplied to the combustion chambers;
an intake manifold distributing the intake gas flowing through the intake line into the plurality of combustion chambers;
a throttle valve provided at a front of the intake manifold and controlling an air amount supplied to the combustion chambers;
a supercharger provided at an upstream portion of the throttle valve and including a motor and a compressor operated by the motor to supply the supercharged air to the combustion chambers;
an exhaust gas processing device purifying an exhaust gas generated in the combustion chambers;
an exhaust gas recirculation device including a recirculation line branched from a downstream portion of the exhaust gas processing device and joined to the intake line of the upstream portion of the electric compressor, an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooler mounted at the recirculation line, and an EGR valve mounted at a place where the recirculation line and the intake line are joined;
a cylinder deactivation (CDA) device mounted at a portion of the combustion chambers among the plurality of combustion chambers and selectively deactivating the portion of the combustion chambers;
a first exhaust manifold connected to the combustion chambers mounted with the CDA device;
a second exhaust manifold connected to the combustion chambers without the CDA device; and
a turbocharger including a turbine rotated by exhaust gas exhausted through the first exhaust manifold and a compressor rotated in connection with the turbine to compress external air,
wherein a first exhaust line connected to the first exhaust manifold and a second exhaust line bypassing the turbocharger and connected to the second exhaust manifold are joined to a main exhaust line, and
wherein the exhaust gas processing device is provided at the main exhaust line.

2. The engine system of claim 1 , wherein
the combustion chambers include a first combustion chamber, a second combustion chamber, a third combustion chamber, and a fourth combustion chamber, and
the CDA device is mounted at the second combustion chamber and the third combustion chamber.

3. The engine system of claim 1 , wherein the turbine is mounted at the first exhaust line flowing the exhaust gas exhausted from the first exhaust manifold.

4. The engine system of claim 1 , wherein
a bypass line partially bypassing air supplied to the electric supercharger is provided at the intake line, and
a bypass valve is mounted at the bypass line.

5. The engine system of claim 1 , wherein
the CDA device is configured to be operated in a low speed region to deactivate the combustion chambers.

6. An engine system comprising:
an engine including a plurality of combustion chambers generating a driving torque by combustion of a fuel;
an intake line flowing an intake gas supplied to the combustion chambers;
a throttle valve provided at a front of the intake manifold and controlling an air amount supplied to the combustion chambers;
a cylinder deactivation (CDA) device mounted at a portion of the combustion chambers among the plurality of combustion chambers and selectively deactivating the portion of the combustion chambers;
a first exhaust manifold connected to the combustion chambers mounted with the CDA device;

an electric supercharger provided at a upstream portion of the throttle valve and including a motor and an electric compressor operated by the motor to supply air to the combustion chambers; and
an exhaust gas recirculation device including a recirculation line branched from the first exhaust manifold and joined at the upstream portion of the electric compressor mounted at the intake line, an EGR cooler mounted at the recirculation line, and an EGR valve mounted at a place where the recirculation line and the intake line are joined,
wherein a first exhaust line connected to the first exhaust manifold and a second exhaust line bypassing the turbocharger and connected to the second exhaust manifold are joined to a main exhaust line, and
wherein an exhaust gas processing device purifying the exhaust gas generated in the combustion chambers is provided at the main exhaust line.

7. The engine system of claim 6 , wherein
the combustion chambers include a first combustion chamber, a second combustion chamber, a third combustion chamber, and a fourth combustion chamber, and
the CDA device is mounted at the second combustion chamber and the third combustion chamber.

8. The engine system of claim 6 , wherein
a bypass line partially bypassing air supplied to the electric supercharger is provided at the intake line, and
a bypass valve is mounted at the bypass line.
