	International Engine of the Year Awards - a judge's view - 4Car Feature - from Channel 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Last year's winning engine, the Toyota 1.5-litre hybrid petrol-electric unit fitted in the Prius, also received a fair share of promotion, and BMW is proud this week that its 5.0-litre V10 (M5, M6) has been honoured as this year's winner.
		The annual International Engine of the Year, however, is an influential independent survey using a truly international jury of 56 motoring journalists from 26 countries - representing industry insiders, petrolhead enthusiasts and mainstream consumers alike.
		It's organised by a publisher of technical motoring publications, including Engine Technology International, and the results are announced at the International Engine Expo each summer in Stuttgart, an important fixture in the automotive engineering calendar.

		The mechanically driven supercharger's role is to build engine boost early and thus eliminate the exhaust-driven turbocharger's inherent response lag and torque deficit at low revs.
		The IEOTY awards jury is now 61 members strong, which is 5 more than for the previous year.

		Furthermore, the lubrication systems of internal combustion engines are inherently least effective immediately after the engine starts; since it is upon startup that the majority of engine wear occurs, the frequent starting and stopping such systems cause may reduce the lifespan of the engine considerably.
		Thus a smaller, less flexible engine may be used, which is designed for maximum efficiency (often using variations of the conventional Otto cycle, such as the Miller or Atkinson cycle).
		Steam engines can be much more efficient (and generate less pollution) than internal combustion engines, which is why most of the world's electric power comes from steam turbines heated by fossil fuels or a nuclear heat source.

		The International Engine of the Year for 2006 is BMW’s 5.0 litre V10, as fitted to the M5 sedan and M6 coupe.

	INTERNATIONAL ENGINE OF THE YEAR 2003
		Felix Wankel, pioneer of the rotary engine, Kenichi Yamamoto, the first head of Mazda’s RE (Rotary Engine) Research Department in 1963, and Nobuhiro Hayama, today’s general manager of Mazda global powertrain activities: the names are synonymous with rotary engines and, now, the International Engine of the Year 2003, the RENESIS Rotary.
		The achievement is against all the odds: rotary engines had been dismissed by many – including Europe’s emission legislators, who banished Mazda’s last Wankel, the 13B-REW, from its markets in the last decade – as too inefficient, too polluting.
		Perhaps winning the International Engine of the Year 2003 title will see Mazda invest further in rotary engines (for now, some 60,000 a year will be made at Mazda’s Hiroshima factory).

	Engine of the Year 2005 Awards - bimmerfest - BMW Forums
		Personally i think there will be more powerful 6 cylinder BMW engine in the next year or two, some rumors claim its a turbo which i'm not to happy with.
		My question for the automakers is still: "Why not make a smaller car in which to put that engine, or put it in an existing smaller car?" To an extent, BMW did this when they put the S54 in the Z3 coupe and roadster, creating the M coupe and M roadster.
		You think that a company that made airplane engines in WWII ranging from 1,600 hp to 2,000 hp could be more generous in their cars (within reason).

	gizmag Article: Mazda's new RENESIS named International Engine of the year
		Mazda's new RENESIS rotary engine, which powers the all-new Mazda RX-8, has been named "International Engine of the Year 2003." The prestigious award was presented earlier this week at Engine Expo 2003 in Stuttgart, Germany.Now in their fifth year, the International Engine of the Year Awards have become one of the most sought-after automotive accolades.
		It represents nothing less than a revolution in rotary engine technology, as it delivers smooth, high-revving performance, achieves acceptable fuel consumption and is able to meet some of the toughest emission standards in the world, including Euro Stage III standards in Australia.
		The exhaust ports, previously located on the trochoidal housing of a conventional rotary engine, are now situated on the side housing of the rotor chamber, which allowed engineers to optimize the engine's port profiles and eliminate exhaust and intake port overlap.
