On the editorial cracked brain, were books of the time and engine cowlings opened up, use this list as a result. But is the list complete? That is up to you!

We are talking here about nice engines in production models. Visually perceived. A Bugatti W16 is technically impressive, but not necessarily a nice engine to see. Like many modern engines by the way, those hiding under the dull plastic cover plates. A shame, because as a car enthusiast, we want to just see where that often occur, where the turbo’s their niche and what kind of fuel system is.

Not for nothing are the following sources of power, almost without exception engines in which that technique is not hidden from view. Engines for which you want to place them in the rows to hunt. The big question is, are you all with the list? Or have we let fall by just your favorite to be forgotten? After this list is the turn of you, and don’t forget, especially the pictures!
