Among all the iconic BMW engines, a relatively new engine has already left its mark on history. It has been quietly proving its ability and carving out its reputation as one of the greatest and possibly most reliable BMW engines. That's a lot to ask of any engine, despite the B58 sharing a lot with the N55, its predecessor. There are also correlations between the BMW B58 and the Toyota 2JZ. Iconic is an overused term, but the 2JZ's reputation precedes it as an eminently tunable straight-six engine and also the star of the show in the twin-turbo MKIV Toyota Supra.

Following the demise of the 425-horsepower 426 HEMI V8 in 1971, Chrysler mothballed the hemispherical combustion chamber design and its awe-inspiring HEMI nameplate for over 30 years. While the second-generation 426 HEMI clearly earned its rank as a high-horsepower engine, the newer 5.7- and 6.1-liter third-gen HEMI V8s provide impressive horsepower ratings as well as improved fuel economy and reliability.

Base and Premium trim levels return, the latter for more than $60,000. The Toyota Supra enters the 2025 model year without the base 2.0-liter turbo-4 offered in previous years, and as a result has a much steeper starting price. Due at dealerships in the fall, the 2025 Supra comes standard...

Bugatti May Have a New Grand Tourer in the Works Inspired by Its Most Valuable Car Ever

Remember the 2009 Galibier? The ultra-luxury grand tourer was axed because VW Group reportedly didn't like the design. Rumor has it that the five-door liftback would've been too bulbous in production guise. Instead, the Veyron's replacement was prioritized, thus the Chiron was born in 2016. Fast forward to 2024, Bugatti isn't ruling out launching a car with a sixteen-cylinder engine mounted in front of the driver.

Putting the largest engine available in the smallest car of the lineup is always a fun idea. That was the whole point of a collaboration between BMW and the German magazine Auto Zeitung. This is how the V12-powered Z3 was born back in 1999. The one-off roadster has been camera-shy ever since it was first revealed in 2012.
