The Best Car Engines in the World

Every year in Stuttgart, the center of automotive manufacturing in Germany, the best engines are selected by the most renowned automotive journalists in the world. Based on this selection, in June 2017, it was Ferrari that won the title of Best Engine of the Year. This engine, used in the Ferrari GTB 488, produces 660 horsepower and, with a volume of 3900 cc and using a twin-turbocharger, can generate a torque of 760 Newton-meters. With such a powerful and large engine, a consumption of 11 liters per 100 kilometers is very reasonable. With this powerful engine, the Ferrari 488 GTB can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 3 seconds and approach a speed of 160 kilometers per hour in 6 seconds. The top speed of this car with this engine is also 330 kilometers per hour. In the category of best fuel-efficient or electric engine, Tesla won the best title. The powertrain used by Tesla in models X and S is recognized as the best powertrain in the world. Tesla can cover 640 kilometers on a single charge with this powertrain. With this powertrain, the car can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in just 3.5 seconds and 160 kilometers per hour in 8 seconds. The maximum speed of the car with this electric powertrain is also 250 kilometers per hour. In the category of best engines over 4000 cc, Ferrari again won the best title with the Ferrari F12 engine, which has a volume of 6300 cc and produces 580 horsepower and 700 Newton-meters of torque. In the 2500 to 3000 cc engine category, the best engine is made by Porsche, a six-cylinder 3000 cc engine used in the 911 model. This engine produces 370 horsepower and the 0 to 100 kilometers acceleration of the car with this engine is 4.4 seconds. In the 2000 to 2500 cc engine category, the engine used in the Audi TT RS, which is a 2500 cc engine with 400 horsepower and 480 Newton-meters of torque, was selected as the best engine. With this engine, the car reaches a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in less than 3.5 seconds. The average fuel consumption of the car with this engine is 10 liters per 100 kilometers. So far, all the engines listed have been for very expensive cars. However, this list also has a section that is more practical, focusing on engines from 1000 to 2000 cc, where most cars in the world fall. In this section, for engines from 1800 to 2000 cc, the Porsche Cayman with a 2000 cc engine that produces 300 horsepower and 380 Newton-meters of torque using a turbocharger was the best. This car can reach a speed of 100 kilometers per hour in 4 seconds and has a fuel consumption of 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. In the 1400 to 1800 cc category, BMW designs the best engine, a 1500 cc engine used in the famous hybrid BMW i8 model. This engine has a power of 231 horsepower and can produce 320 Newton-meters of torque. In the 1000 to 1400 cc category, Peugeot designs and produces the best engine, a 1200 cc engine used in the 208 and 2008 models. This three-cylinder engine has very low consumption and is suitable for city use. This small engine produces 108 horsepower using a turbocharger. If we compare this engine with the engines used in Iranian cars, currently, the Peugeot 206 in the 5th trim with a volume of 1600 cc produces such power, while in this new Peugeot engine, with a reduction of 400 cc in size, the same power is produced with lower fuel consumption. In the category of very low consumption and small engines, Ford achieved the best rank. This company has proven that it currently has the best engineering in the field of low-consumption engines in the world with its 999 cc EcoBoost engine used in the Fiesta model. This engine, despite its small size, produces 120 horsepower and 170 Newton-meters of torque, with a fuel consumption of about 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers. With this engine, the Ford Fiesta can reach a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.
