Ferrari bags 6 titles at 2018 International Engine of the Year Awards

Not one, not two, but six awards have been hooked by Italian supercar maker Ferrari at this year's International Engine of the Year Awards. That's crazy, as this is the highest number of accolades any car manufacturer has had in a year.

The six new awards brought up the total of trophies under the Italian automaker to 27, besting all other sports car company. The 3.9-liter V8 biturbo alone, dubbed as 2018's best engine in the world, took the 3- and 4-liter class. It even made it to the Performance Engine category, apart from having been nominated as the 'Best of the Best.' 

The result was concluded by 68 international judges who gave 486 votes on Ferrari's V8. That's almost triple of what the second runner-up has got, which was, by the way, Porsche's 3-liter six-cylinder turbo with 198 points. It just dominated the awards, period.

Meanwhile, Ferrari's 6.5-liter V12 also ranked among the best engines in the world. It placed third with 158 points. It even got two awards: Above 4-liter class and the Best New Engine.  The V8 engine is found under the hood of the 488 GTB, 488 Spider, and 488 Pista, while the V12 powers the 812 Superfast.
