Engine

The Engine is part of The Garage Vehicle Upgrades list in Mad Max. Improving the engine increases the Vehicle's acceleration. There are two types of engines - the standard V6 and the coveted V8. There are 12 upgrade levels after the basic state. The first 6 are categorized as "V6", and the last 6 are categorized as "V8". The best way to offset all the chunky, spiked metal from Armor and Ramming Grill upgrades weighing you down is to upgrade the engine. Max starts out the game with a reliable V6 engine, but his acceleration really gets a shot in the arm when he moves on to a V8, known throughout the wasteland as "The Big Chief." Note that upgrading your engine decreases your handling.
