It is very difficult to set up a team full of the best designers and engineers to produce cars, as well as allocating a large budget. Manufacturers who are aware of this situation also make partnership agreements on some parts.

At the beginning of these parts is the engine, which powers the car and is the most important part. There are partnerships with such brands that it surprises people. Because the engine of an ordinary, daily used model can also be used in a super sports model.

Here are 7 cars with the same engine:

The engine of the Pagani Zondas, which had an interesting design, was specially produced by Mercedes: Mercedes W140 – Pagani Zonda

The engine, whose designs are said to be inspired by the F-16 and F-14 warplanes, and also used in the Mercedes W140, was an AMG V12.

Who would believe that a humble Mondeo’s 3.0-litre Duratec V6 engine powers a British sports car: Ford Mondeo – Noble M400

However, British sports car company Noble used this engine in the M400 model, which has a mid-engine and 0-100 in 3 seconds.

An engine used in a sports car can also be used in an ordinary family car: Nissan 350Z – Renault Escape

One of the legendary engines of the time, the VQ35 once powered a fairly large family car. It was quite surprising that such a powerful engine was found in such a car, although it was not well received.

One is a classy luxury sedan and the other is a massive SUV: Citroën C6 – Land Rover Discovery 3

The 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 diesel engine was developed as a collaboration between PSA Group and Ford. Ford also used this engine in vehicles like the Discovery and Jaguar S-Type, as it owned Land Rover and various other brands at the time.

You go smash the big MPV’s engine and put it in the race car: Ford Galaxy – BAC Mono

Most of us know the Ford Galaxy, the giant MPV that Ford launched in the 50s and 60s. The 2.3-liter Duratec four-cylinder engine of the vehicle, which we can call a minibus, was renewed after a while and used in the single-seater BAC Mono.

The first couple that comes to mind when talking about using another brand’s engine: Mercedes-Benz A-Class – Renault

It is a strange situation that has been discussed for years in our country and in the world. The 1.5-liter dCi engine, produced in partnership with Mercedes-Benz and Renault, is used in some models of both Renault and Mercedes.

The engine that powers the fastest on the track was used in one of the city’s fastest: Lamborghini Huracan Performante – Audi R8

This engine, which powers the Huracan, one of the supercars with the fastest lap time on the Nürburgring circuit, was produced by the German automobile giant Audi. The V10 FSI engine was also used in Audi’s R8.
