The engines of the three brands of BBA can be said to be the top level in the industry. So who is the strongest engine of the three of them? In fact, specific to different engine technology solutions, the three still have their own advantages, and no brand of engine is the strongest in all aspects.
The most powerful: Mercedes-Benz engine
If you only talk about performance, in terms of mass-produced original engines, Mercedes-Benz's engines are the strongest, and almost all displacement engines have strong power performance.
For example, the two strongest 2.0T engines are both mercedes-Benz, one is mercedes-Benz's M133 engine, which can output 280 kilowatts, 391 horsepower, 475 Nm of power. The Mercedes-Benz M139 is currently the strongest civilian mass production 2.0T engine on the surface, which can output 310 kilowatts, 421 horsepower, and 500 Nm of power.
For example, mercedes-Benz's V12 engine, code-named M279 6.0T V12 engine, has a maximum power of 630 horsepower and a peak torque of 1000 Nm, and its performance is also quite powerful. Mercedes-Benz engine, the reason for its strong performance, its secret is the use of high-strength aluminum alloy materials.
The best match with the gearbox: BMW engines
BMW is the beginning of the aircraft, BMW predecessor is an aircraft factory, the engine has always been one of the core competitiveness of BMW products, every year Ward rated the "top ten engines" BMW is a regular customer. In general, bmw's engine comprehensive performance is relatively strong.
The power performance is medium and upper, although it is not the strongest, but the performance is also strong enough.
Fuel economy is also excellent, compared to Audi through the dual-clutch transmission of the extremely high transmission efficiency, to achieve strong fuel economy, BMW engine with 8AT gearbox, can also achieve strong fuel economy.
In addition, the most commendable thing about the BMW engine is that the BMW engine and the gearbox are the best matched, and the driving experience is the best. In this regard, whether it is Mercedes-Benz or Audi, it is slightly inferior.
BMW's engine strictly adopts the optimal concept of 0.5L per cylinder, 3-cylinder 1.5T B38, 4-cylinder 2.0T B48 and 6-cylinder 3.0T twin-turbo B58, are all products of this theory.
The greatest potential for modification: Audi engines
Compared with Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Audi's engine is also the top level in the industry, but the best part of Audi's engine is not performance, but in terms of modification potential.
Take the EA888 as an example, although its original factory parameters are general, but because of the use of cast iron cylinder block, as long as it is simply modified, it can burst out of strong power performance, therefore, some of Audi's models are the most popular in the modification industry.
In addition, with the combination of dual-clutch transmissions, Audi's models tend to have the lowest fuel consumption in the BBA.
In general, the engines of the three brands of BBA are the top level in the industry, and it is difficult to say which brand of engines must be stronger, but the engines of these three brands are average in terms of stability. In addition, with the arrival of the new energy wave, BBA will say that in the future to stop the development of internal combustion engines, the wave of electrification, as strong as BBA can only helplessly transform.
