Ferrari wins the best engine of the year award again in 2019

Once again, automotive press specialists have chosen the best engine of the year

With the list of winners now published, the best engine of the year for the 69 international press specialists who take part as jury in the election of the Engine Powertrain of the Year award is once again a heart of Ferrari.

An accolade the Italian firm has renewed, which shows and proves the maxim that “if it works, don’t touch it”. So much so that, apparently, the successor to the Ferrari F8 Tributo, besides being a hybrid car, will carry the same 3.9-litre, twin-turbo V8 block that will be paired with an electric system in the new supercar from Maranello.

And, speaking of powerful and hybrid cars, these awards for the best engines of 2019 are distributed according to the power ranges established in their homologations, and typologies based on their energy source.

Thus, for engines powered exclusively by hydrocarbons, we find seven awards differentiated by power thresholds, and for the engines classified as more environmentally friendly there is the best hybrid engine and the best electric engine, the best new engine award, and the best high-performance engine award close the list, along with the highest honour, the International Engine of the Year.

The winners, by category, as the best engines of the year or the winners in the different groups, are as follows:
