The International Engine of the Year Awards winners have been announced. Full details inside.

The International Engine of the Year Awards has named the Volkswagen 1.4-liter TSI Twincharger engine the winner for the second year in a row.

The engine produced “almost 180 horsepower (134 kW/183 PS) despite its small capacity. This is thanks to the clever use of both turbochargers and superchargers. Dean Slavnich (IEOTYA cochair) said that the clever 1.4-liter Twincharger VW engine is still voted by judges as the best in the world. This demonstrates the high-end trend-setting trend-setter.

The Fiat 1.4-liter MultiAir Turbo (from Alfa Romeo MiTo/ Giulietta), won the title New Engine of Year. It was voted New Engine of the Year by judges, beating out Ferrari’s V8 at 4.5 liters (from the 458 Italia) or BMW’s V8 at 4.4 litres (from the X5 M/X6 M).

The Mercedes-AMG 6.3 liter V8 and the BMW 4.0 liter V8 were also awarded class specific honors (from M3), the BMW 4.0 liter V8 (from M3), BMW 3.0-liter twin turbo, Audi 2.5-liter five cylinder turbo (from TT–RS), BMW 2.0-liter twin turbo diesel (from MINI Cooper S / Peugeot 207), and Toyota’s 1.0-liter three cylinder (from iQ) and Toyota’s hybrid 1.8-liter Prius Prius Prius Prius
