7. Volkswagen Golf R
Volkswagen might maintain the headlines nowadays because of its massive dieselgate scandal, but let’s understand that the German automaker has some very nice gasoline engines. The Volkswagen Golf R is one hot hatch, because of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 292 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. When designed with the six-speed DSG automatic transmission, the Golf R does the 60-mph sprint in 4.9 seconds and has lapped the Nurburgring in an extraordinary 8:15.
6. Subaru WRX STI
For many years now, the Subaru WRX STI has stood for four-cylinder performance having its turbocharged Boxer engine. In the newest iteration, the powerplant cranks out 305 hp and 290 lb-ft of torque to all or any four wheels, and you probably can’t mistake the sound it generates with some other engine in the current market, unless it arises from Porsche.
5. Mitsubishi Evolution
Honestly, the stock Mitsubishi Evolution engine doesn’t sound insane. But once this has been modified, it’s among the craziest sounding four-cylinder engines available. Enthusiasts will claim that the older 4G63 engine is the greater engine, but as the organization bids farewell to its four-door sports vehicle, it includes a 2.0-liter turbocharged unit with 291 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque.
