The BorgWarner Engine Group supplies systems and components for four of the eight winners of Engine Technology International magazine's 2007 International Engine of the Year Awards, including the:
- Volkswagen 1.4-litre FSI
- Porsche 3.6-litre Turbo
- Volkswagen/Audi 2-litre Turbo FSI
- BMW-PSA 1.6-litre Turbo
Turbochargers, engine timing systems, spark plugs and ignition coils, and air pumps are some of the technologies BorgWarner produces for these notable engines.
"We are pleased to contribute the important benefits of fuel economy, reduced emissions and enhanced performance to these remarkable powertrains," said Tim Manganello, BorgWarner Chairman and CEO. "We congratulate Volkswagen, Porsche and BMW for winning this prestigious honor."
The awards are presented by Engine Technology International, a quarterly magazine published by England's UKIP Media & Events. Winners of eight engine capacity categories are chosen for the International Engine of the Year 2007. In every category, a panel of 62 motoring journalists from 30 countries rate the engines based on economy, smoothness, performance, noise and drivability.
