### Toyota Gr Supra The most obvious (and sad for fans of real Japanese technology) An example is still the current “Supra” A90, which in the foreseeable future will become the property of history. All her predecessors are real Toyota. Samurai! And the penultimate generation (A80) from the nineties gained a cult status primarily thanks to the famous in-line “six” 2JZ-GTE with a volume of 3.0 liters with amazing potential for tuning. GR Supra is a special story. In fact, this is the “disguised” BMW Z4 (G29) with all the ensuing consequences.
Toyota The motor, like the chassis, German is a 3.0-liter in a number six-cylinder B58 family. Sometimes it is called one of the best Beamweesh in history and the “modern“ jiseve ”” for hidden opportunities. B58 has an aluminum cylinder block, a direct fuel injection, a two -stroke turbocharger and a gas distribution phase change system. The highest degree of forcing – 435 hp. – It was achieved in the farewell GR Supra Final Edition thanks to the new software firmware, optimized inlet and Akrapovič with special catalysts.
Toyota ### Aston Martin Valhalla an elite British brand collaborates with Mercedes and a foot opens a partner’s treasury at the door. The four-liter Mercedes-AMG V8 with two turbochargers in the column of the cylinder block is already their own and dear to Aston Martin. Moreover, this is not about the implantation of the finished unit as it is – English engineers modify it with all their might. For example, in the case of the DBX707 supercrosover, other turbochargers and custom settings of control electronics were used. The result is a power reflected in the name against 550 factory horsepower. This is not the limit: DBX S was rocking up to 727 hp, but the coolest merciful went to the Valhalla hypercar.
Aston Martin The Valgalla superhibride is an unusual Aston Martin. Just look at the functional “racing” design and design! The layout of the average, the key role in it is played by the Mercedes-AMG V8 M178 with a “flat” crankshaft and a dry crankcase (this was put on the GT Black Series). After upgrades, he overshadowed the base: the return reaches 828 hp. And the total, taking into account three electric motors (one is built into the eight -speed pre -sequential “robot”, two drive the front wheels) – 1079 hp.
Aston Martin ### Noble M600 Dwarf English firms often and are forced to borrow third -party installations. For example, Noble Automotive used Ford engines for her bestiaria. The exception is the Middle -ortor coupe and Targa M600 (2010-2018). In the trampled space lives … V8 B844s with a volume of 4.4 liters and with the collapse of the cylinder block of 60 degrees. It is designed by Yamaha for Volvo and is known for the old but combat XC90 of the first generation and the S80 of the second iteration. Of course, stock 315 hp It was not enough – two Garrett turbochargers were fastened to the “eight”, a fuel injection system of increased performance and “brains” MOTEC.
Noble The boost pressure can be adjusted in wide ranges. The initial preset Road – (0.6 bar, 456 hp), intermediate – track (0.8 bar, 558 hp), extreme – Race (1 bar, 659 hp).
Noble ### ariel atom The main idea of the unique Spartan Atom is lightness, crystal cleanliness of driver’s sensations and complete involvement in the management process. In order not to spoil and distort the nature of the “formulas” for public roads, Ariel Motor Company relies on relatively compact highly phoned thresher. The “four” Rover, a three-liter 500-horsepower V8, American engineer John Hartley for a crazy Atom 500, and cheerful steep Honda with a volume of 2.0 liters, including an emergency mechanical supercharger, was used.
Ariel Currently, you do not need to be wise-in the Arsenal Honda there is a two-liter “turbocharging” from the hot hatch Civic Type R (324 hp). It is put on fourth -generation ATOM (was published in 2018) transversely behind the seats transversely and not forgetting to adjust the management program. The traction is transmitted to the rear wheels through the six -speed “mechanics” and a self -blocking differential. Acceleration to hundreds – within three seconds!
Ariel ### Lotus Emira, like many of his compatriots, British Lotus is not able to bother with his own unit. History knows exceptions, but mainly “strangers” engines. There are several options on the modern sports car at once. The first is the modified compressor Toyota V6 with a volume of 3.5 liters (up to 405 hp). By the way, Lotus has long drawn motivation in Japanese developments. The second is the two-liter “turbocharging” Mercedes-AMG M139, something new.
Lotus The engine appeared under the hood of Lotus as part of cooperation – the Germans are a technical partner. If the Mercedes engines in the interpretation of Aston Martin are noticeably stronger than the original, then in this case the opposite is true. The factory M139 issues from 382 to 469 hp Depending on the year of release and settings. Emira is more modest: it came out with the 365-horsepower version and only last year the top-end Turbo SE at 406 hp came out. She is the most nimble in the gamut: it gains 100 kmh in four seconds, the maximum speed – 291 km/h.
Lotus ### Donkervoort F22 Borrowing is a natural survival strategy for a small Dutch company, the keeper of the glorious traditions of the founder of Lotus Colin Chapman. Her horse is very light Spartan sports cars for Purist drivers. The “cigar” of the D8 series (1993–2002) was supplied to its first five-year plan with Ford engines, including the 2.0-liter “turbocharger” from the Escort RS Cosworth rally-frame (up to 280 hp). Then the Audi era came and continues to this day: presented at the end of the 2022th Donkervoort F22 is charged with a depressed five-cylinder “two and five” from the Superchobeca RS3 with a force up to 500 hp.
Donkervoort Easy plus Huge capacity – the key to shocking power supply 666 hp. per ton. And speakers: 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds, two hundred in 7.5 seconds, maximum speed – 290 km/h. By the way, about the name. It turns out that the American fighter F22 Raptor has nothing to do with it. The car received the index in honor of Philippa, the daughter of the head of the company Denis Donkertfoort, which was born on May 22, 2022.
Donkervoort ### Pagani Utopia The name of the Italian brand is inextricably linked with the achievements of Mercedes-Benz. V12 with a three -beam star made Zonda and Huayra supercars who know them – evil, uncompromising, with piercing formula soprano. The glorious tradition was continued by their successor Utopia. He, like the “Wayra” six -liter M158. It is useless to find him on the road “Mercedes” – you will not find it!
Pagani The explanation for this is the following: M158 is built of the old M275 AMG by order of Pagani. Donor is a six-liferous titan with two turbochargers for Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG (W221), CL 65 AMG (C215/C216) and other “sixty-fifths”. The derivative has more compact double -flow turbochargers with reduced inertia, a modified intercooler and a lubricant system with a dry carder. In the latest version – 864 hp and 1100 Nm. Interestingly, Utopia can be ordered not only with a robotic gearbox, but also by ordinary “mechanics”.
Pagani ### Koenigseg CC8S Swedish Koenigsegg is famous for unique ideas that have no analogues in the industry. But this was not always the case. For CC8S 2002–2003 (six pieces were released), a special variation of the Fordovsky V8 Modular with a volume of 4.6 liters with an aluminum cylinder block and 32-valve heads was prepared. The factory configuration was intended for such machines as Mustang SVT Cobra.
Koenigsegg The KOENIGSEGG engine is increased to 4.7 liters and, most importantly, equipped with a mechanical supercharger. A simple and effective solution made it possible to increase the return more than half – up to 664 hp. A six -speed manual gearbox makes requirements on the level of skill of the pilot. If at the start, do everything right and “catch the hook”, you will get a hundred in 3.5 seconds. The maximum speed is 390 km/h.
Koenigsegg ### McLaren F1 a member of the club of the greatest supercars also did not pass the fate of borrowing. But just throwing the finished unit “out of the box” is an unacceptable banal for F1 and the high aspirations of its authors. Recall that the leading specialist of the project was the ingenious Gordon Marrai. The machine is built around a carbon fiber monocock, the design uses titanium, magnesium, Kevlar and even gold spraying on the walls of the motor compartment as a firing screen that breaks the V12.
McLaren The “heart” of the Supercope (S70/2) is based on the BMW S70B56 from the rarest Grand Tour 850CSI (1992–1996, 1510 copies). But the differences with the source are fundamental – an increased piston stroke (volume – 6.1 liters), block heads with four valves per cylinder, a gas distribution phase change system, individual throttle. With all pies, the power was 627 hp, torque – 650 nm.
McLaren ### McLaren 12C Supercar McLaren 720S has a reputation as a dangerous opponent – on the power of a four -liter V8 M840T with two turbochargers and cannon dynamics, legends are composed. The motor was developed jointly with the British engineering company Ricardo and is the evolution of the M838T (3.8 liters) from McLaren 12C (2011-2014). The whole question is where the latter came from. And the answer to him will certainly surprise you.
McLaren The McLaren engine was not born from scratch, its foundation is the Nissan VRH for the American racing series Indy Car. The TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) at one fine moment sold the rights to the British. Only partially geometry has been preserved – the diameter of the cylinder. Almost everything else is rethought and converted by Ricardo specialists in a year and a half. Of the features – two turbochargers, a “flat” crankshaft, and amazing elasticity, coupled with steepness. M838T is able to type up to 8500 rpm, while 80% of the torque are available at 2000 rpm. It was placed not only on 12c, but also other supercars from Woking, including the P1 hybrid monster and its derivatives (up to 800 hp).

Integration in the automotive industry is much deeper and larger than many suspect. For example, did you know that in the old Volvo the Aisin (Toyota unit) work in the old Volvo? A very interesting direction is the use of third -party engines. We have chosen ten examples, and they are not equivalent. In some cases, the installation was transferred in almost unchanged form, with the exception of the nuances. In others, it is rethought and improved.
