I was just wondering what exactly constitutes a "strong engine"?

As my Elise decided to burst a rad hose this weekend and empty my lovely orange coolant everywhere I got wondering what would've happened if I hadn't noticed. Would my engine have fried itself? Or is my Toyota engine "strong"?

Why is a say a Honda VTEC engine supposedly more reliable than say a TVR AJP-6? Is it just down to the tolerances when building or is there more than that?
