Due to the rapid advancement of engine technology, top engine technology has fully entered the T era. Below is the ranking of the world's top ten engines for the five years since 2007. It can be seen that the top few every year are all with Supercharged engine.
Also, we can also find a fact that cannot be ignored, that is, Volkswagen's engine technology, or Audi's engine technology, has occupied the first place for a long time.
The most important point is that in recent years, among the engines of Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz that have been on the top ten list, only the models equipped with engines on the Audi list have achieved excellent results on the market. Not only when comparing brands, even within the same brand, Audi's excellent 2.0T engine has truly achieved both technical and commercial success, and is not just a championship that relies on some test data from the laboratory. The data is excellent. On the basis of this, it has also successfully occupied the market and achieved remarkable results.
Let’s analyze BMW and Mercedes-Benz in more detail.
First of all, both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been absent from the top ten engine selections for five years.
Mercedes-Benz was only on the list in 2007 and 2008, and has been off the list for three years;
After BMW recently gave up its stubbornness on naturally aspirated engines, it began to appear frequently on the list, and the engines on the list are all supercharged engines. Currently, the main sales of domestic BMWs are the BMW 1, 3, 5, and 7 series. None of the mainstream models are powered by the engines on the list, which shows that it is just a success in the laboratory. What's more, BMW is still absent from the top ten in 2007.
It is undeniable that I admire BMW's inline 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, but unfortunately, in the near future, it is very likely that the inline 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine will become an out-of-print work.
A company as strong as BMW still has to surrender to the development trend.
No matter what the laboratory technology is, the best engine model we can buy on the market is still Audi.
Even compared to the laboratory, it can be seen that Audi's engine has been at the top of the top ten engines for more than 5 years. The recent engine technology is dominated by Audi.
