Crossword Genius

Go like an engine (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

motor

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'go' is the first definition.
(motoring is a kind of going)

'an engine' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'like' is the link.

(Other definitions for motor that I've seen before include "Car (informal)" , "Make good progress" , "Travel by car, engine" , "Drive" , "Machine that converts energy into motion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
