What do you guys think is the best engine in the World? The new porsche GT3's? The BMW M5's? Audi RS4's or maybe the AMG 63.

So whatever you think is the best engine off all time post it here with some stats about it and state your reason why you think its the best.

Right now my favourite is that of the BMW M5 and Audi RS4.

Both are techanically advanced engines and both high revvers. I have a weak spot for engines that rev high.

Last year the M5 engine won every engine award there is im not sure its the best anymore but it still one of the best, thats for sure. Lets wait and see what the engine of the year jury say 2006...

the M3 E46 engine has most engine awards than any other engine ever. That engine is still one of the best.

I would agree the M5 engine is fantastic.

For sheer technical wonderment, the Bugatti Veyron's W16 engine is difficult to top.

Without any possible doubt the S54.

I wonder if the new bi-turbo I6 is going to get any awards...

this year the M5 will loose the new engine of the eyar award, which will go to that of the M3 if it is released before the awrds
it will be atight one between the RS4 M3 and M55 for performance,
the good ol' 3.2 still kicks hard and it will not fade since it is in the Z4
but the turbo 3.0, if it turns to be as good as it it shoudl be will be a hard bargain
only hope for mrcedes is the CG1 3.5

Does the RS4 have a higher rev range than the M5`s V10?
8250rpm is up there.

While I'm by no means an expert on engines, I think that the best of the current crop are the M5, Veyron and RS4 engines that all are ground-breaking in one way or another.
