5 Cars You'd Never Guess Shared Engines!! 🔧

five cars you'd never guess shared engines what's up everyone one of the most common presumptions is that all expensive sports and supercars have unique and highly complicated engines while its is true in most cases especially if we look at Ferrari Lamborghini or McLaren there are many more sports cars with much more humble motors in fact there are a lot of speedy and exclusive models which borrow engines from ordinary vehicles and give them a second lease on life here are five exciting hero cars with engines from everyday boring models number one the Koenigsegg CCS the CC 8's was the first proper production model from kerning sake in 2002 the company made just six examples which were enough to establish it as the new force in the hypercar class at just three and a half seconds naught to 60 and a top speed of 240 miles per hour it was one of the fastest land vehicles of the period and truly a showstopper however it was powered by Ford's modular v8 engine commonly found in the famous New York yellow taxis police Crown Victoria Cruces and f-150 pickup trucks of course Koenigsegg thoroughly modified Ford's engine and put two big superchargers on it resulting with 664 horsepower but still it was the same block and displacement like the one used in the ordinary Mustang GT from the mid 90s for example an interesting thoughts when you're in a New York taxi at five miles per hour number two the Lotus Evora Lotus has always been a company more focused on building a lightweight chassis suspension and bodies than on constructing their own engines over the years Lotus has used engines from various companies like Ford Renault Rover and so on but in the current Lotus Evora they used a three and a half litre Toyota engine with or without the supercharger the exciting part is that this three and a half liter v6 known as the two GRF II is the same unit used in many ordinary Toyota models all over the world with 276 horsepower on tap this motor can be found in Camry sedans the highlander SUV and the lexus es350 the supercharged version which delivers over 400 horsepower is a bit more special but it still has the same end in which powers the neighbors Toyota Sienna minivan number three the Nissan 350z when the Nissan 350z debuted in 2002 sports car lovers all over the world rejoiced finally a proper 2-door two-seater sports coupe a with a powerful v6 up front and rear wheel drive a lot of praise went into its three and a half liter v6 engine called the vq35de which delivered 290 horsepower and exhilarating performance however not many people know that this engine was also used in a vehicle on totally the opposite side of the car spectrum the renault grand Espace minivan through the magic of cost cussing and engine sharing renault got its hands on the vq35de and installed it into its full-size grand Espace minivan introduced in 2006 and sold until 2010 renault produced very few of those performance people carriers with a 350 sets engine which was slightly detuned to 245 horsepower however despite the significant power for a minivan and a high top speed of 140 miles per hour not a lot of people chose this model and the grand Espace 3.5 is a forgotten French Japanese gem number for the noble m12 noble is one of those small but very interesting manufacturers which produce fantastic cars but never evolve beyond kit car recognition to be honest this is the frame since nobles cars are brutally fast creations that compass a very famous names to shame this is precisely what the m12 is with 357 horsepower and just over a thousand kilograms of weight it can outrun almost anything the interesting thing about this car is the fact that it uses a two and a half liter Ford Duratec v6 engine commonly found in almost all Mondeo's s-max and fusions all over the world of course Noble installed twin turbo charges to achieve such power but still the majority of the engine is totally the same as in an ordinary Mondeo a cool detail as the taillights which are also nicked from a first generation Mondeo a nice reminder from where the engine was borrowed from number five the donkervoort d8 GTO if you don't know what the donkervoort d8 GTO is think of it as Kate two rooms crazier more powerful and more extreme twin brother based on the everlasting Lotus seven chassis the Dutch company is famous for producing insane roadsters with ludicrous power and barely any weight the d8 GTO uses a two and a half litre five-cylinder TFSI engine from Aldi specially tuned to achieve 340 to 380 horsepower this standard engine is used all over Audi's model range due to the fact it is relatively small and turbocharged it is easily tunable and this is exactly what Don cavort uses it so there you are can you think of any other hero cars with humble engines let me know in the comments below and don't forget to like or dislike the video Cheers
