The best engine was the 1984 Chrysler IX-8 Flat-8 concept engine. It was developed to be used in conjunction with a hybrid drive system, using a minimum of only 0.3 litres per 100 kilometres. More spectacularly, it could acheive horsepower and torque numbers well into four digits at driver-programmable rpm levels.
So... I think it's time to specify what kind of engine you're talking about
I'm talking about motors you get in the normal cars you can buy in the showrooms. So I'm talking about normal streetmotors.
Which motor has the best performance?
Boem!!!
For normal showroom cars
petrol engine: Alfa V6
diesel engine: PSA HDI
for more extreme machines:
petrol : Ferrari 360V8
diesel: VAG V10
Probably 10 minutes after submitting this i could come up with a totally different list. Choice is too big.
Honda: NSX V6
Ferrari: Enzo V12
Alfa: GTV6
BMW: Maclaren F1 V12/ M3 CSL inline 6
Mercedes: Pagani Zonda V12
Nissan: SkylineGTR inline 6/350Z V6
Porsche: Carrera GT V10
Ford: Aston Martin DB9 V8
Mazda: RX7 Twin T Wankel
VW: Corrado VR6
TVR: Any V8!!!
Lamb.: Contach V12
in my opinion
it's a Ferrari V12(including the 180 degree ones )
There is no terrible way of winning
there is just winning
The same quiz?What is best?
Honda S2000 2 liter 240bhp/9000RPM is the best 4 cylinder normally aspirated,
BMW 3 series 2.2 liter in line 6,170 bhp/6000 RPM is the best 6 cylinder,McLaren F1 6 liter V12(BMW unit) 660bhp is the best 12v,Lamborghini Gallardo 5 liter V10 500bhp/7800 RPM is the best V10,all those engines are normally aspirated.For V6 I didn't decided yet
I like Volvo too

I forgot to mention that those engines are MY favorites and price vs performance ratio is a factor(except for McLarenF1) Regardless of price, I agree there are many more powerfull engines.This forum is a little unfocused because "the best engine" is not a stock one and a 1000 bhp 16V Veyron is cost about 1 million US dollar(900,000 USD).In my opinion there is car price vs engine performance factor that is very important .So the problem is how much money you have to spend for a new car and what is the best deal for your money .And we're talking about the engine only, not the car.If you wanna buy a Volvo what is the point looking to a Honda S2000? If you are a family man, you need a SUV,a van,a station wagon,not a coupe or a roadster.If you have to live in the both worlds,try a VW Tuareg ,an X5 or Porsche Cayenne,that's simple

that's what are you looking for?
buddy, its not about the cars, its about the engines. When your talking about the best engines in the world cost isnt a factor.Originally posted by FLORIN70IL

Plus you can't really compare the car prices cos the engine might not have cost the same percentage of list price.
The Veyrons 8.0-liter W-16 engine is essentially a 90-degree joining of two of Volkswagen's VR-8 powerplants.......where's the innovation in that.
NSX V6 tuned with the help of the late great Senna...........nothing stock comes close!! (and I'm not talking hp!)Originally posted by megotmea7
