Greatest engine? Yea, gotta admit it - Merlin V12.

Ever heard a P51 Mustang or Supermarine Spitfire fly by? Similar to the low rumble and high fan whine of a 911 but with twice the cylinders.

A sound that is beautiful, powerful, fast and a bit frightening. And it helped win the war so that Dr. Porsche could stop designing tanks and start designing the 356!

I think they still use old ones in those fast offshore/hydroplane racing boats.

911 Flat Six is best auto/racing engine of course.
