The BMW M5 has long been a favorite among petrolheads all over the globe. Many view it as the pinnacle of high performance and luxury in sedan form. Initially introduced in 1985, the first generation M5 was based on the E28 5 Series, and that particular model featured a modified version of the BMW M1’s inline-six engine, setting a new standard for power and agility in a family-friendly (of sorts) package.

Full-size luxury convertibles are scarce in today's automotive landscape, but Cadillac may be reviving the segment with the gorgeous Sollei, an all-electric concept that celebrates the automaker's legacy of high-end convertibles. Cadillac says the design pushes the envelope of "future bespoke commissions," which suggests the Sollei may make it to production - perhaps as a bespoke Spectre rival built in limited numbers. Sollei is a portmanteau of sun (Sol) and leisure (Lei), which is what this vehicle is all about.

The Ward's AutoWorld publication has been going for over a century, and many are likely familiar with their Ward's 10 Best Engines selection, which is published once a year. To appear on the list is a credit to an engine's reliability, performance, and design. The list includes rigorous testing and evaluation by a panel of the publication's editors who consider factors such as horsepower, torque, fuel economy, and the application of new technologies. Many iconic engines have appeared multiple times on the list since its inception in 1994.

The V8 That Won More Engine Awards Than Any Other

Decades ago, before General Motors was anything like the homogenized company it is today, brands under its wide-reaching corporate umbrella operated mostly independently of one another. Competition between the marques was commonplace and, in some cases, even encouraged by GM senior management. That meant each brand, for the most part, came up with their own engine designs. That all changed in the mid-1970s when GM shifted its outlook to be more streamlined and, unfortunately, cheaper.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

Not only does this two-door hatchback tip the scales at nearly two-and-a-half tons, the top-dog E Performance PHEV powertrain delivers one powerful bite.
