Others to think about:
BMW V12
Ferrari - any really
TVR maybe
and vauxhall/opel 1.3 diesel ecotek

TVR dont make engines. They used to use rover v8's and tune them a bit, I forget who's they use now.
I'll put forward the supertubro engine from the lancia delta integrales.
Perkins engines last forever!
i thought TVR did start making their own? wot about the new konazegagrfdfshksdfhsdkhf (swedish thing) ccx engine...?

TVR do make their own engines now, based on the Rover V8 and their own straight 6.
to be honest, the best engine is not all about how many cylinders or bhp it has
thats why I'm saying the c20xe (yes i know) but think about it with its 83x83 (i know its 80 something) pistons its a very Strong engine, top it off with a coscas head, its a perfect engine all round, every good tunability, and reliable
oh and it would be close with the c25xe apart from the cam belts need doing every 40k miles and at ?100 a pop
The Koenigsegg engine is "80% engineeered in-house by Koenigsegg. The block is from Ford Racing, but just about everything else is Koenigsegg developed" (http://www.bmwm5.com/articles.php?id=29&page=2) Its a big output but nothing really groundbreakingly exciting or unique (remember that RS200s can be tuned to 800bhp as can Skylines et al.)Originally Posted by nova_pilot
TVR engines have been F**d and Rover sourced in the past (then worked over) but their engines are made in house now, iirc they are in line sixes and V12s. Again these are fine engines but theres nothing in the design which makes them unique, or thats going to make people use them the world over in all manner of cars like the many incarnations of the oh-so-versatile Chevvy V8!
The Perkins diesel engine range is a good example, its not all power, they just last forever and power so many different things!
would be quality if it didnt keep overheating too much and too prone to head gasket failure
