Ward's 10 Best Engines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ward's 10 Best Engines is an annual list of the ten "best" automobile engines selected by Ward's AutoWorld magazine. The list was started in 1994 and has been drawn every year since then. The selection takes into account power and torque output, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels, technical relevance and basic comparative numbers.
The Nissan VQ engine is the only engine to have been present on the list every year since the engine's inception.
