Engines that have come to define brands #blogpost

The first one, and arguably the most iconic, is Ferrari’s big V12. Almost every Ferrari has a V12 and rightfully so. V12s are, by far some of the best sounding and performing engines. Sure, they’re big and heavy but hey, you wouldn’t complain if a F12 Berlinetta showed up on your doorstep?

and many many many many many many many many many many many many more…

The 1.8 L 4 cylinder hybrid…

Yes. You see that correctly. A Prius. Before you get your pitch forks, saying, “TEH SUPRA SIX IS BETTUR TEHN DIS”, hehe, you’d be wrong… kinda… Well, this engine has really come to define Toyota. Why? How many Supras have been sold? Mmmm, a large number but relatively small when it comes to cars… Now how many Prii (plural or Prius) have been made? A wholedanglot that’s how many. And anyways why are Prii hated among car people? Sure, it’s not sporty but that was never the point. It was made to get from point A to B quietly, efficiently, and comfortably. And on the fact that it doesn’t look good. Beauty is in the eye of the foreseer.
Models this was in
Prius…
Prius V…
prius C…

The Porsche Flat six

Now this one is rightfully deserved. The 911 has never been produced without it’s legendary flat six. And I mean every Porsche 911…. Though I’m not counting the Flat 4 that was in the 912…. But the flat 6 has gone through many a changes. Starting aircooled and small and now it’s big, turbocharged, water cooled, and filled with many a new technology. Oh, and 9,000 rpm redlines…. So yes, it sounds good.

models it appeared in
911
914
the boxter and Cayman

And that was that article. Sorry for it ending so shortly, as I’m being bombarded with homework and the such. Well,I’ll try and spicen up CT with some more posts soon ;)

Lamborghini V12, BMW i6, nissan V6, B series honda, Ford V8

Mmmm, part two, ive said this many a time

Don’t forget the Aston 5.9 liter V12 in the Vanquish and DB11. And the 7.9 liter in the vulcan

Gosh, ill have a parts 3,4, and 5 with alll these suggestions

if toyota made more supras today im sure those would sell in a heartbeat. And i dont mean that new fangled BMW half child, the real deal 2jayZ

No they would not. First off, the 2jz is a 20 year old engine which means bad economy and bad for the enviroment. And really sports cars dont sell that well. For instance, compare Gt86 sales to camry sales or z4 or and M series bmw compared to a standed 3 or 4 series. Regular people just domt wamma go fast, loudly, and in a blaze of tire smoke. They want quiet, comfort, and economy

Yea V12s deliver power well but they also deliver maintenance bills

Corvette LS? Most popular and best selling engine ever

Lamborghini V12

Chevy Ls + big and small block Chevys are reliable fast engines

Volvo’s inline-5 engines?

fca and the hemi

Subaru Boxer
Mazda Wankel
Volkswagen VR engines
Volkswagen W engines
GM LS engines
