Celebrating the era of internal combustion engines with the most interesting engines

It just so happened in Russia, and even in the post-Soviet space, that an engine with a volume of more than 2 liters in a passenger car is considered unnecessary. At the same time, everything that is less than 1,4 liters is classified as small capacity. And more than two liters is already a “show-off”, extra fuel consumption.

And if there is a V8 under the hood of the car, then there may already be under 20 hp. gasoline to go away. But on the highway you will be able to fit into the top ten. Due to low speeds, the engine will be economical. And they will talk about engines that are unlikely to be accessible to drivers on the channel “Big Look Auto - Interesting about cars.”
