Interesting list, what happen to the 7.3 L AMG engine in the Zonda F?

I guess I forgot about that engine because it isn't in a Mercedes anymore, but nevertheless it is a brilliant choice!

Its hard for me to list a list but the M5 E60 and M3 E46 is on the list. Won more engine awards than any other engine so obviosly its on my list. And the CGT engine should also be included in my list.

Thanks for the reminder. That's my 10th choice.

Actually that engine (CGT) is no longer in production.
