The development of a Thunderbolt engine begins and ends with the Voice of the Customer. Your non-certified engine is your dream and your investment. That’s why Thunderbolt welcomes you as part of the design and build team.


When your Power of Choice is Thunderbolt, bring your imagination.


Thunderbolt engines are currently divided into three series: Signature, Extreme, and Competition.

Signature Series

Like all Thunderbolt engines, Signature Series engines are constructed in dedicated cells by dedicated teams. Each engine is configured to the customer’s specifications, from major configuration changes to appearance options. Precision Static Balancing is a standard Thunderbolt feature. All pistons and connecting rods are balanced to within half a gram.
