Italian supercar giants Ferrari cleaned up at the 2017 International Engine of the Year competition. This year saw the 3.9-litre turbocharged V8 of the Ferrari GTB take overall honours. See which other powerplants took home honours in their respective categories here.
The win was the second consecutive for the Ferrari 488 GTB's motor and it goes down in the history books as one of only four powertrains in the competition's history to have achieved back to back victories. The judges included 58 auto journalists from 31 countries and awarded it highest honours, ahead of the Porsche 911 Carrera's flat-six turbocharged motor. Interestingly there was just one diesel motor in this competition and electric vehicles have started featuring as there's a new Pure Electric category.
