When car makers search for help to develop new, powerful performance engines, one of their first phonecalls might be to Mahle Powertrain, formerly known as Cosworth Technology, a firm that has long been one of Britain’s engineering powerhouses.
Audi, Ford and Nissan have all entrusted important new performance engines (for the Audi RS6, Ford Focus ST170 and Nissan GT-R) to the company, while countless other engines have been tested and developed on its dynamometers and high-temperature and high- altitude climatic test cells.
These days, like every car-industry supplier, Mahle Powertrain is refocusing on battery-electric powertrains.
