Why Are Volkswagen Engines Made of Cast Iron?

[VanLeonardo]

Volkswagen engines are made of cast iron for the following reasons: 1. The cast iron cylinder block has a smaller volume, making it more convenient for engine compartment layout; 2. In terms of strength per unit volume, aluminum alloy cylinder blocks are weaker than cast iron ones, and cast iron cylinder blocks offer greater strength; 3. Cast iron cylinder blocks provide better modification potential. After ECU tuning, cylinder reinforcement, and installation of turbo kits and intake/exhaust kits, they can deliver higher horsepower. Volkswagen is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg, Germany. The VW in its logo stands for the first letters of its full name, resembling three 'V's formed by middle and index fingers, symbolizing the company's and its products' victory.
