This article is the nod to treasured eight-cylinders whose time is running out. Find here a selection of the 10 most notable new cars with V8 engines you can buy in 2022.
In the era of EV market expansion and phasing out of conventional internal combustion engines, the few V8-powered models you can still buy seem especially valuable.
V8 engines are fitted in performance-oriented vehicles – trucks, sports cars, and large SUVs, and historically they gained popularity because of excellent horsepower and torque figures. The benefits of a V8 include its flexibility (it can be either compact or large), inherent ability to run smoothly, as well as the balance of power output and torque. Some drivers will likely miss the roar, the pull, and the scent of a good old-fashioned V8.
Well, let’s see what the automotive market offers today to fans of V8s.
