From the article:
Quote:
Each engine must be available in a regular-production, U.S.-specification model on sale no later than the first quarter of 2007 in a vehicle priced no more than $54,000, a price cap indexed to the average cost of a new vehicle.
That's why the BMW V10 or Audi RS4 engine isn't there.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed that. But why 54k and not 50k or 60k or whatever?

Has to do with some sort of index multiplied over the average price of a new car.

They just don't say what the index actually is.

hmm, very unexpended engines. But i hope the either the 335's engine of the Audi one will get the award. I can't see how a Ford or Nissan engine can win over a german one...

535d is not for sale in US and therefore not one of the engines in this competition.

Can you tell me more about the 5.7 HEMI V8? I know they are distinctively different in the sense that their cylinders are spherical, allowing better combustion. Are there any more benefits and does the capacity need to be so huge?
