Ferrari has won the International Engine of the Year award for its 3.9-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 unit, currently doing mighty - and slidey - service in the new 488 GTB.
It means that for the first time in many years, a performance engine has taken the top honours for the award. Previous winners of course, include BMW’s 1.5-litre three-pot, Ford’s three-cylinder EcoBoost, Fiat’s 875cc TwinAir, and the VW Group’s 1.4-litre TSI.
The engine not only won the top category, but also the Performance Engine, New Engine, and 3.0-litre to 4.0-litre category too. That’s four awards.
The fifth? Ferrari’s 6.3-litre, naturally-aspirated unit seen in the F12 Berlinetta and F12tdf, which got the Above 4.0-litre award.
The 3.9-litre of course, is used across the 488 GTB, 488 Spider and (in a revised form) in the California T.
