United States automotive magazine, AutoWorld Ward, this year released 10 best engine model 2011 (made in 2010). The magazine said, the assessment criteria the best machine that is the level of fuel efficiency and vehicle performance.

As quoted from theautochannel, “Volvo clearly benchmarked the BMW in developing the supremely smooth T6 engine, based on its delicious mid-range power band and paucity of turbo lag,” noted Tom Murphy, Executive Editor of Ward’s AutoWorld in his December 7 article highlighting the awards. “This engine is perfectly suited for the all-new S60 and powers it into contention against bigger, better-established luxury entries.”
