For the purpose of manageability, this list is limited to production cars that have at least 600 kilowatts. Car models with higher-powered variants are listed only in their most powerful incarnation (for example, the Agera RS would be listed in place of the standard Agera, although the Agera makes over 600 kW).
The M139 engine is based on the current M260 engine, which is an upgraded version of the outgoing M270, sharing the same bore and stroke dimension as well as the block..
