Whether you’re a seasoned gearhead or someone who just wants their truck to start on a cold Monday morning, the world of engines is packed with some mind-blowing facts. At Gearhead Engines, we live and breathe engines — and that includes the quirky, surprising, and straight-up legendary stories that come with them.
Here are some engine trivia facts that might just fire up your inner mechanic:
Did You Know?
1. The Toyota Corolla is the best-selling car in history.
With over 50 million units sold, the Corolla has become the global workhorse of reliability. That’s a whole lot of engines still ticking!
2. The Bugatti Veyron’s 16-cylinder engine uses 10 radiators.
Yes, ten. When your car hits over 250 mph, keeping it cool isn’t just a luxury — it’s survival.
3. The Ford F-Series is the best-selling truck in America.
And it’s not just a truck — it’s a cultural icon. Over 40 million F-Series trucks have been sold, second only to the Corolla in global vehicle sales.
4. Diesel engines were originally designed to run on peanut oil.
Inventor Rudolf Diesel envisioned a fuel-flexible engine. He’d probably be shocked at the diesel innovations we see today (and possibly a little hungry).
5. NASCAR engines are built to last just one race.
They’re designed for maximum speed — not longevity. That’s the opposite of what we do here at Gearhead.
