Does your car have the best engine?
Yup, cars’ engines also get judged, and this year Ford came out on top for the engine of the year! Ford, as a company, scooped up the International Engine of the Year with its 1,0-litre EcoBoost turbocharged petrol engine for the third year in a row.
Ferrari and Volkswagen engines took second and third place, while the Mercedes-Benz AMG 2,0-litre turbo and Tesla’s full-electric powertrain got into the top five.
