This is the 20th year for the Ward’s 10 Best Engines awards and as many as 44 different powertrains were tested. Out of the 10 winners, eight featured direct fuel injection, six came with forced induction and one was even electric. The 2014 Corvette Stingray’s 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 made the list for obvious reasons. Despite maintaining Chevy’s smallblock pushrod legacy, the engine features advanced technologies such as direct injection and cylinder deactivation and can return as much as 29 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a large displacement V-8 delivering 455 horsepower in standard form.
