Greatest looking engine bay/engine - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Rayme · 11-29-2012, 03:24 PM

Alright, so the FR-S has a very ugly engine bay, it really looks like crap, so I thought we should have a thread showcasing great engine bay or engine. We're talking STOCK here, no aftermarket! Exotics / race cars welcome.

Older Taurus SHO, Yamaha helped with the head design on this one.
I heard they have to tone down the power/rev limit because the transmission couldn't handle the power it made!

I always thought Honda made nice looking engine, the DC2 Type-R bay look just delicious!

Ferrari 312 - 1969 Engine bay. Nicknamed bundle of snakes, for good reasons. Formula 1

Nissan's VG30DETT, quite cramped but interesting nonetheless.

IMO the best looking engine bay for a car from the 90's...

Where's all the car nuts?

Ferrari Testarossa V12

Corvette ZR1 engine bay, DOHC V8
I really love how it looks with the fender being part of the bonnet, looks so nice.

V10 Viper beauty

Prettiest way to cram 16 cyl into an engine bay.

Beautiful, not functional. You want the most functional engine bay ever?

Look at all that dust blocking, NVH reducing shit I have to take off just to level the headlights.

And who the hell is driving a 250GTO into a dust cloud (or at all, for that matter) anyways?

Spyker C8 (opens up like a swiss army knife)
