The 9 Greatest 6-Cylinder Engines Of The Last Decade, According To You
There have been some incredible six-pot engines made over the last 10 years, but which are the most notable? We asked you to nominate your favourites, and these are the results!
2. Porsche M97/74
The last in a long line of race-derived ‘Mezger’ Porsche flat-sixes, this one’s really something special. We’d already been treated to a stonking 3.8-litre flat-six in the 997 GT3 RS, when Porsche decided to enlarge it to 4.0 litres to create the M97/74.
An increase in stroke supplied the bump in displacement, while the crankshaft came from Porsche’s 911 RSR and GT3 R race machines. The 4.0 litre’s peak power of 493bhp arrives at 8250rpm, with its full 339lb ft of twist coming in at 5750rpm.
3. BMW S54B32
With the amount of love for the S54, we’d probably start a riot by not having M Division’s finest six-pot here. But that’s fine, as it more than deserves a place. Its many achievements include kicking out over 100bhp per litre despite being naturally-aspirated, picking up a ridiculous amount of awards, and powering the celebrated E46 M3. Oh, and the M Division-spec Z4s, plus a Wiesmann or two.
