About This Quiz
A car quiz with a difference!
Are you ready for it? Can you take yourself from the back of the grid to first position, accepting the checkered flag as you ace one of our hardest car quizzes yet?
You see, identifying a car from an image is easy if you think about it. But what if you had to identify the carmaker as well as the model from simply looking at an image of its ENGINE?Â
Not so easy now, is it? Or maybe your car knowledge runs so deep that this, too, will be a breeze for you.
From a classic Toyota sports car to the very epitome of luxurious driving, or perhaps the most recognizable car in the world. Their engines feature here.Â
What about the first performance hatchback, an American classic or a military vehicle that became a civilian favorite? Those are featured as well. And of course, we have thrown in a few incredible sports cars as well. It would be wrong to include them and their incredible powerplants.Â
So what are you waiting for? Fasten your seatbelt, hit the throttle and go, go, go!Â
Beating this quiz is just a few short corners away!
Good luck!

Hummer H1
A civilian version of the Humvee military vehicle, the Hummer H1 would then obviously be more than capable as an off-roader. And it is, but with limitations. In fact, some H1 owners went as far as changing out the standard 6.5-liter diesel engine and replacing it with something to provide more speed. Another disadvantage is that the H1 is a massive vehicle. You need a large open off-road track for this behemoth.
