McLaren secures third successive title at Engine of the Year Awards
21 Jun 2015|2,074 views
This achievement by McLaren marks a third consecutive victory for the highly-efficient twin turbo engine fitted to the core models in the McLaren Super Series, the groundbreaking 650S Coupe and 650S Spider.
The 3.8-litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine has been designed and developed by McLaren in collaboration with Ricardo and has undergone significant changes further to the introduction of the 650S in 2014. Producing, as the name suggests, 641bhp and 678Nm of torque, the engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in three seconds, but is as focused on efficiency as it is on power.
The M838T engine in the 650S Coupe and Spider is exclusively filled with Mobil 1 New Life 0W-40. The high-technology engine lubricant has an optimum combination of synthetic base oils designed to meet the high-performance engine demands. Now in its 17th year, the International Engine of the Year Awards were presented at Engine Expo 2015, and voted for by an independent panel of leading automotive journalists from around the globe.
Richard Farquhar, Head of Powertrain from McLaren Automotive commented, "The M838T is a wonderful piece of powertrain engineering and has enjoyed tremendous success from the outset. The 3.0-litre to 4.0-litre category continues to be extremely competitive, so claiming victory for the third year running confirms that the engine's ferocity, responsiveness and excellent efficiency remain a benchmark in the industry."
