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 ;)

The engine that’s define Toyota should be the A series engine.

Why? How has the A series impacted the world vs how has the Prius’ 1.8 L has impacted the world.

Audis 5 cylinders
Bmws straight sixes
Amgs V8
VWs VR5/6 engines
Chrylsers Hemi V8
Hondas Vtec engines

“It was made to get from point A to B quietly, efficiently, and comfortably” Well it’s not as efficient as they claim and the interior is shoddily made. 1 out of 3 ain’t bad……….ish

Also, the Camry hybrid had the same Australian built hybrid engine and had a much nicer interior. If I needed a hybrid (taxi work for example) I’d go the Camry

There should also be BMW and inline 6 on this list

What about VW and Diesel engines? Or is it too soon?

Ford 5.0

GM’s LS V8’s? haha

And just to put this out there, I don’t dislike you, heck, I loved our chat. It was kind of fun, but seriously, we need more variety on CT and writing things is a great way to do so.
