MTU engines for performance yachts are among the best in the world. They feature a full package of built-in advantages and an excellent power-to-weight ratio. MTU engines are light, compact and generate impressive amounts of power.

The popular 2000 series engine is available in an 8V, 10V, 12V and 16V configuration, and the newest version of the Series 2000 – the M94 – boasts the highest horsepower in its class and an unbelievable power-to-weight ratio. Horsepower has been increased by up to eight percent over the previous Series 2000 marine engine, and the 16-cylinder version, for example, produces an impressive 1939 kW while weighing in at under 3.4 tonnes.

All this is achieved without compromising our market leading fuel efficiency and conforming to all international exhaust emission legislations.
