One engine that probably deserve a mention in whatever list when price is not an issue is the current RS4 V8....Direct injection normally aspirated 4.2 liter V8 with 8250rpm redline and makes 414bhp...

On a old list, the engine from the FIAT 2300 S coupe should definetly be mentionedit was the pmost powerful per litre engine of it's time

I know that diesel engines really don't sound that good. Although the other day I heard a 5 cylinder Diesel Van accelerating. It sounded like an Audi Quattro with less of the drama. Basically, it sounded like it ran on petrol. I do quite like the noise those racing trucks make as well.Originally Posted by quattro_20v
On a Good day, Chris Bangle designs the Fiat Coupe.
On a Bad day, he designs a BMW.

i think the Veyron's 7.9 liter W16 Quad turbo deserves a mention just for it's size. heck, it should have two or three mentions!!!
also
the Carrera GT's 6.0? aluminum V10 has to be in there, thats one of the best engines if you ask me!! v10 is a perfect size!!!

btw if you are referring to the Ward's list then CGT's V10(or Veyron for that matter) can't be included as they both cost over 50k with a car....

Honda S2000 VTEC. The sound is similar to a F1 car when you rev it.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.

I have a 5 cylinder 2,3 20v engine now, it can rev a tip over 7000 rpm so it's kinda hard for me to put that away for a diesel. I have to say the bmw inline 6 diesel doesnt sound too bad tho but I cant afford a new car like that right now.

As most complex and powerful yes, but the Ward's 10 best list was limited to cars costing upto $52,000. They even managed there to leave out the best there!

Imagine, Ward's picked the S/C-ed Ecotec GM four instead of this gem??!!

Ward's best list in order to be PC has picked engine from different countries and companies. It is a mockery of a 10 best list. They should have put a disclaimer: 10 best, with the condition that there must be some American V8s, German "German Engineering" entries, and the now we're competitive with the Japanese four cylinder's Ecotec entry. Very sad list!!

S2000's VTEC was on the list on S2000's first year(the 2 liter version), then it was replaced the following year with the i-VTEC of the Acura RSX Type S.
