It is not a secret that when it comes to the world of automobiles, Germans have heard more than just a success tale. In fact, they have developed the most well-known, luxurious, and sophisticated brands time and time again, ranging from Audi to Mercedes-Benz. What we mean is that it would be strange if German automakers were not considered to be among the greatest of all time. If we take a look at some of Germany’s most powerful machines, we can see that some of them may have been underappreciated while having an incredible amount of performance. Let’s have a look at a few of these different kinds of machinery!

VOLKSWAGEN ALH TDI

The V.W. A.L.H. is one of the most iconic machines ever made. The machine can make up to 800 horsepower of power. Most likely, the success of the engine is due to the cast iron exhaust manifold and block. They became well-known not only because they were reliable, but also because they got good gas mileage.

BMW M62

When you hear the name BMW, you think of something stylish and high-end. Since we’re being honest, we think this is one of the coolest cars that German automakers have ever made. From 1995 to 2005, BMW’s best engine was the big V8, which ranged from 3.5 to 4.8 liters. This engine was easy to tune because it had a D.O.H.C. system, an aluminum block, and a Bosch Motronic ECU. Most likely, the reliability of these engines is due to the lack of high-tech parts in the fuel pump and timing chains. But this is still one of Germany’s most underrated machines.

VOLKSWAGEN EA888

Think of the VW EA888 when you think of legends. This beast of a machine won an award for how well it worked. What a mind-blowing thing! The EA888 is seen as a smart machine for its time in terms of how well it works. So, the VW group has been using it for over 20 years, and they keep making changes to it to make it better.
