V8 engine

src: www.carthrottle.com

The V8 engine is an eight-cylinder V-engine configuration with a cylinder mounted on a crankcase in two sets (or four banks), with all eight pistons driving a common crankshaft. Most banks are set at right angles (90 Â °) to each other, some at narrow angles, with 45 Â °, 60 Â °, and 72 Â ° most common.

In its simplest form, the V8 is essentially two inline parallel-four engines that share a common crankshaft. However, this simple configuration, with a flat or single crankshaft, has the same dynamic dynamic imbalance problem as two straight 4s, producing vibrations in large engine displacements. Since the 1920s, most of the V8 have used a somewhat more complicated crankshaft crossplane with heavy counterweight to eliminate vibration. This results in a more refined engine than the V6, while much cheaper than V12.

Most V8 racing continues to use a single aircraft crankshaft because it allows faster acceleration and more efficient exhaust system design.

Histori

In 1902, LÃÆ' Â © on Levavasseur took a patent on a light but powerful enough V8 gasoline engine injected. He called it 'Antoinette' after his financial support daughter. From 1904 he installed this machine in a number of speedboat competitions and early aircraft. The aviation pioneer Alberto Santos-Dumont saw one of the boats in CÃÆ'Â'te d'Azur and decided to try it with his pusher configuration, canard-design 14-bis aircraft. Early 24 hp (18 kW) on 1400 rpm version with only 55 kg (121 lb) heavier weight, but proved less powerful. Santos-Dumont ordered a larger and stronger version of Levavasseur. He changed the dimensions of the original 80 mm stroke and 80 mm bore to 105 mm stroke and 110 mm bore, obtaining 50 hp (37 kW) with 86 kg (190 pounds) weight, including cooling water. The ratio of strength to weight is not exceeded for 25 years. Levavasseur eventually produced its own line of V8-equipped aircraft, named Antoinette I to VIII. Hubert Latham piloted Antoinette IV and Antoinette VII V8 in July 1909 on two failed attempts to cross the English Channel. However, in 1910, Latham used the VII engine with the same engine to become the first in the world to reach a height of 3,600 feet. Voisin built a pusher biplane with an Antoinette machine, too, especially the one first flown by Henry Farman in 1908.

The V8 engine configuration became popular in France from 1904 onwards, and was used in a number of aircraft engines introduced by Renault, and Buchet. Some of these machines find their way into cars in small quantities. In 1905, Darracq built a special car to beat the world speed record. They come with two racing car engines built on crankcase and a common camshaft. The result is a giant machine with a displacement of 1,551 cuÃ, at (25,416Ã, cc), both for 200 b bhp (150 kW). Victor Hemery improved the record on December 30, 1905 with a speed of 109.65 mph (176.46 km/h). This car is still there.

Rolls-Royce built a 3,535 cc V8 (216Ã, cuÃ, in) from 1905 to 1906, but only three copies were made and Rolls-Royce returned to the I6 design.

In 1907, Hewitt Motor Company built a five-passenger Touring car. It is equipped with a large and powerful V8 engine that develops 50/60 horsepower and has 4 deep holes (102 mm) and 4.5 inner strokes (114 mm). Hewitt is the first American car equipped with a V8 engine.

De Dion-Bouton introduced the 7,773Ã, cc (474Ã,  ° C) V8 cars in 1910 and was featured in New York in 1912. It was produced only in small quantities, but inspired a number of manufacturers to follow it.

One of the first V8 production cars was introduced in the United States in 1914 by Cadillac, a division of General Motors that sold 13,000 L-head engines of 5.4 L (330  ° c) in its first year of production. Cadillac has been a V8 company ever since. Oldsmobile, another division of General Motors, introduced its own V8 engine in 1916. In 1916, Chevrolet introduced the 288 cuà (in 4.7Ã,L) V8 engine in 1917 and installed it in the Chevrolet Series D. In February 1915, the automotive Engineer Switzerland, Marc Birkigt, designed the first example of the famous single-engine Hispano-Suiza V8 single overhead airplane, in different displacements, using a dual ignition system and in power levels from 150 horsepower to about 300 horsepower, both in direct- drives and outputs are directed versions of the shaft. Nearly 50,000 of these machines were built in Spain, France, England, Italy. Wright Aeronautical built it in the United States during World War I, with French-produced versions virtually exclusive to drive SPAD S.VII (about 6,000 produced) and SPAD S.XIII (nearly 8,500 produced) combat aircraft; as well as French and English versions (such as the Wolseley Viper version of HS.8A) for the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 fighter (some 5,200 built) and Sopwith Dolphin (nearly 2,100 built) fighters. The H.S. 8-series overhead cam valvetrain V8 flight machines are said to have about half of all Allied planes from the WW I era.

In 1932, Henry Ford introduced one of his last personal engineering triumphs: his "en block", or one part, the V8 engine. Production is the largest commercial V8 available to the masses. Offered as an option for the upgraded 4-cylinder "B" engine in a low-priced car, this compact V8 power plant, with a down design carburetor, allows the 1932 Ford to outperform all other popular competitors and conceived as next year's time. The Ford flathead V8 is still being heralded today as one of the first pioneers in the 'hot rod' engine.

Design

V angle

The most common V angle for V8 is 90 °. This configuration has a wide and low engine with optimal shooting and vibration characteristics. Many of the V6 and V10 engine configurations are derived from the production V8 design, so often using 90 Â ° angles; However, the balance shaft is inserted to reduce vibration and/or crank more complex even for firing cycles. One example is the Ford/Yamaha V8 used in Ford Taurus SHO . It is based on the Ford Duratec V6 and shares a 60 Â ° V engine angle. The same Yamaha-made machine was used by Volvo Cars between 2005 and 2010. The engine is designed for front-wheel-drive installation and is narrower than usual for spatial use efficient. Since they are not at an ideal 90 ° angle for V8, they require a reversing axle balance and offset split crankpins for perfect fluency. In addition, the 72 Â ° V8 engine has been used in modern racing.

The Rolls-Royce Meteorite V8 engine comes from the Meteor tank machine (itself derived from the Merlin aero engine, thus sharing an angle of 60  ° V Merlin.In recent years, Electro-Motive produced an 8-cylinder version of their model 567 diesel locomotive engine , with a 45  ° cylinder angle.The 1932 Miller four-wheel drive race car also featured 45Ã, ° V8.

The very narrow V8 was introduced by Lancia in 1922, which has an angle between the cylinder banks of only 14 Â °. This creates a machine shorter than straight-6, but is much narrower than a conventional V8. It is based on the Lancia V4 engine design that is almost completely "square" in the length and width of the layout. Due to its compact design and overhead camshafts, the engine is lighter and more powerful than comparable engines at the time. Although Lancia stopped making the V8 design around World War II, the basic concept is used today in the Volkswagen VR6 engine.

Crankshaft

90 degree V8 is made with two types of crankshaft, flat plane and cross-plane :

• flat-plane or one-field crankshaft is the original V8 design, which has a crank pin at 180 Â °. Because they always move two pistons together, the secondary vibration is twice as strong (and half as often) as cross-plane, unless the balance shaft is used, with a pair of rotating counters flanking the crankshaft across to the centreline crankshaft. Because it has an almost perfect aircraft balance, it usually does not require counterweight. Crankshaft with a smaller mass and thus inertia allows faster revving up and down, in addition to the dismissal of being LRLRLRLR or RLRLRLRL with regular per-bank pulsar and per-bank pulses regularly for uniform combustion without the need for a complicated exhaust system. The design was popularized in modern racing by Coventry Climax FWMV 1.5Ã, L (92 Â ° cuÃ, in) V8 which evolved from a cross plane to a flat-plane configuration (with longer conrods). The V8 flat plane on the road car comes from Ferrari (every V8 model they ever made, from 1973 308 GT4 , to the new 488), Lotus (Esprit V8), TVR (Eight Speed)), Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren (MP4-12C), and Ford (Mustang Shelby GT350). This design is popular in racing machines, the most famous example is Cosworth DFV.
• cross-plane or two-plane crankshaft is the configuration used in most of the V8 road cars. The first and last of the four crank pins are at 180 ° to each other like the second and the third, with each pair at 90 ° to the other, so that it is seen from the tip of the crankshaft forming a cross. The cross plane has a half stronger (and twice as often) secondary vibration than a flat plane, but requires a heavy counterweight on the crankshaft to counteract Shake Vibration caused by plane imbalance (See Engine balance for details). With the advantages of Secondary Vibration, V8 cross-plane can be upgraded to large displacements without causing destructive vibrations. However, heavy machine use makes the V8 cross-plane into a slow-revving engine that can not accelerate or slow down quickly compared to flat planes because of the larger rotating mass. While the V8 airway discharge is evenly spaced, the firings on 'L'eft and' R'ight banks are LRLLRLRR or RLRRLRLL, thus uneven intake and waste of the credit range for each bank. In stock cars with exhaust manifolds that combine four exhaust ports into one exit, this results in uneven gas-intake filling in the cylinder (which prevents uniform combustion across the cylinder) causing the typical V8 burble sound. that many people have joined the American V8. In an all-out racing car this leads to the need to connect the exhaust pipes between the two banks to design an optimal disposal system, producing a long disposal pipe that resembles a snake bundle like the Ford GT40.. This complicated and burdensome disposal system has become a major problem for single-seat racer designers, so they tend to use stub exhaust pipes in the 1950s, or put an exhaust port on the inside corner of V at 4.2AL (256 cuÃ, in) Ford Indy engine at Lotus 38.

The cross-field approach is unclear and not simple to design. For this reason, most of the early V8 engines, including those from De Dion-Bouton, Peerless, and Cadillac, are flat planes. Progress to the cross-plane was proposed at an automotive engineering conference in the United States in 1915, but it took eight more years to be brought into production. Cadillac and Peerless (who hired a former Cadillac mathematician for the job) applied for a patent on a cross-plane simultaneously, and both agreed to share the idea. Cadillac introduced their Vank Compensated Crankshaft in 1923, with Peerless's "Equipoised Eight" which appeared in November 1924.

Apps

V8 with crankshaft crossplane (see below) is a common configuration for large car engines. The V8 engine is rarely less than 3.0Ã, Â ° L (183Ã, Â ° C) in displacement and in car use has exceeded 8.2 L (500 cuÃ, in) in production vehicles, such as the Cadillac Eldorado of the early 1970s. In some apps, e.g. industrial and marine V8 engines, displacement can be larger.

In cars, the V8 engine is used in a variety of cars and trucks, especially in the stronger segments and types of vehicles such as American muscle cars, sports cars, luxury cars, pickup trucks, and sports vehicles. Many car manufacturers offer the V8 as an option in vehicles that have V6 or straight-6 as standard engines, often making it a symbol of exclusivity and prestige. In some cases, the V6 engine comes from the V8 design by removing two cylinders while maintaining the same V-angle so they can be built on the same assembly line as the V8 and mounted in the same engine compartment with slight modifications. Some of these use offset crankpins that drive the connecting rod pairs, allowing regular burning sequences.

The traditional 90-Â ° 90-Â ° traditional drill machine, as found in many American brands, is generally too wide and long to fit in a vehicle with a transverse front-wheel drive engine layout, so its applications are limited to rear-wheel sports cars, muscle cars, horse cars, luxury cars, and light trucks. Shorter and sometimes narrower V6 engines are easier to install in small engine compartments, but some compact V8 engines are used in FWD engine configurations and transversal AWD transverse in larger cars, such as Cadillac and Volvo. These machines often have narrower bore cylinder spacing, narrower bank cylinder angles, and other modifications to reduce their space requirements.

In motor sport, the V8 is common and has become a popular engine choice in machines designed specifically for race cars in various types and automotive racing classes, using for example in Formula-1 or the American NASCAR racing league. They usually have flat-plane crankshafts, because the crossplane crankshaft results in uneven firing into the exhaust manifold that interferes with the engine tuning, and the heavyweight counterweight crossplane crankshaft can prevent the engine from accelerating quickly. However, due to the inherent vibrations found in the V8 plane flat, most of the displacement V8s, even in motor sports, are cross-plane, including those found in NASCAR and Top Fuel.

Medium-weight trucks tend to use straight-6 configurations because they are simpler and easier to maintain, and since straight-6 is an inherently balanced layout that can be upgraded to whatever size is required. Large V8 can be found in truck lanes and larger industrial equipment.

Although it is the initial choice for aircraft engines, the V8 engine is rarely used in modern aircraft engines as a heavy counterweight crankshaft is usually a liability. Modern light aircraft generally use a flat-8 configuration instead because it is lighter and easier to cool air. Additionally it can be produced in modular design sharing components with flat-4 and flat-6 engines. One of the few V8 engines used for aircraft propulsion in the years of World War II was the German-backed, air-cooled V8 configuration, the Argus As 10 powerplant.

Car

America

Cadillac produced the first American V8 engine in a production vehicle, 1914 L-Head . It is a sophisticated unit with cylinders paired with an iron head paired to an aluminum crankcase, and uses a flat crankshaft. Peerless followed the following year, introducing a V8 license from amusement park producer, Herschell-Spillman. In 1917 Chevrolet also had designed a V8 engine that began mass-produced, advanced in its engine design has a camshaft center of vertical overhead valve operation in each cylinder bank. The engine design uses a vertebrate crankshaft, and a removable crossflow cylinder head, replacing 288 cuÃ, at (4.7 L) and yielding, for that period, 55Ã, an impressive hp (41 kW, 56 PS). It's mainly used in the Chevrolet Series D.

Cadillac and Peerless separated one more year (1923 and 1924, respectively) with the introduction of cross-field crankshaft. Lincoln also had V8 cars in those years, such as Ferro, Northway (suppliers to Cadillac), Cole (Indianapolis, and Jackson, Mississippi), Perkins (Detroit), Murray, Vernon, and Yale. Oakland, a division of GM, introduced 85 hp (63 kW) 250 cu at (4.1Ã,Â) L8 V8 with a 180 Â ° crankshaft at 1930-1931. In 1932, the Oakland marque was stopped and V8 was used in its companion marque, Pontiac, for one year. Pontiac dropped the V8 engine in 1933 and replaced it with a straight eight Streak Silver that went smoothly.

Ford is the first company in the world to use V8 en masse , which means producing them in very large quantities for use in mass-produced vehicles. Instead of going to six inlines like a competitor when something bigger than four is needed, Ford designed a simple V8, Flathead in 1932. This flathead engine powered almost all of Ford's larger cars through the Year of production 1953, and was produced until about 1970 by Ford licensees worldwide, with a valve-in-block engine that drives most commercial vehicles. Ford GAA gasoline engine armored vehicle armored vehicles manufactured from 1940 to 1950 with a capacity of 1,100 cu at (18.0 L) is the largest V8 displacement production engine to date, and is used as a power option for the US Army M4 Tank Sherman in World War II.

After World War II, strong demand for cars of greater status symbols made the common straight-6 less valuable. The Straight-8 engine has a problem with a crankshaft whip and requires a longer bay engine. In the new wider body style, the V8 will fit in the same room as straight-6. Manufacturers can simplify production and offer larger machines as an optional upgrade to the base model.

In 1949, General Motors (GM) responded to the success of the Ford V8 by introducing Oldsmobile Rocket and Cadillac OHV . Chrysler introduced the FirePower 331 cuÃ, in their (5.4Ã, L) hemi-head V8 in 1951. That year Studebaker introduced its 232 cu in (3.8Ã,L) OHV V8. Buick followed in 1953, while Packard and GM's Chevrolet and Pontiac introduced the V8 itself in 1955. American Motors (AMC) initially purchased the Packard V8 engine, but developed its own lower weight, £ 600 (272 kg), design on 1956.

The complete history of each American manufacturing machine is beyond the scope of this article, but the size of the engine in full-size cars grew throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and up to the early to mid-1970s. The growing size of the full-size car meant smaller model cars were introduced and became more popular, with the result, in 1960, Chrysler, Buick, Ford, and Chevrolet had two ranges of V8 models - Ford was the only automaker to try to emulate Chrysler Hemi V8s in any way in the 1960s, first with the Ford FE design derived by a hemispherical-head engine, 427 SOHC-valvetrain, then with a half-hemispheric head design used for the Boss 429 Mustang engine.

Larger machines, known as large V8 blocks, are used in full-size cars and muscle cars. The Big-Block generally has a displacement of more than 360Ã, Â ° c at (5.9Ã, L). Big-block displacement peaked at 500 Cadillac Eldorado in 1970 at (8.2Ã, L) 500 . During the 1970s, due to the oil crisis and the gradual tightening of emission standards, the large V8 blocks were affected and as a result their use in passenger cars declined as manufacturers began to empty them over a more efficient design. However, in larger trucks and other vehicles, especially in the North American market, the large-blown V8 continues to be in use today, although some manufacturers, such as Ford Motor Company take a different approach and develop the V10 for use in heavy commercial vehicles, such as Trucks and Vans, and/or using small block derived designs in both diesel, such as Powerstroke, as well as petrol applications to improve power and efficiency. To this day, Big-block V8 is commonly used in a wide variety of automotive racing especially in North America, and such machines are available from many small and independent engine makers.

The smaller engine, known as the small V8 block, is installed in the mid-size car range and generally moves between 270Ã, Â ° c at (4.4Ã, L) and 360Ã, Â ° c at (5.9Ã, L) , although some grew by 402 cu Ford at (6.6Ã, L) 400 . There is an overlap between large blocks and small blocks, and factory engines between 6.0 and 6.6 L (366 and 403 cu di) can belong to the class. The architectural machines and general design categories are still in production today, though they have been developed and developed since their inception in the first half of the 20th century.

During the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, each division of GM had their own unique machine, whose advantages and architecture varied. This allows each division to have a unique machine character, but is created for many duplicating attempts. Most, such as the relatively small Buick 215 and familiar Chevrolet 350 , are shared across multiple divisions. Ford and Chrysler have fewer divisions, and love the brand's special joint design. Eventually GM also began issuing some special division machines in the late 1970s, but never went to a V8 architectural design.

GM Chevrolet's modern large block engine blocks include the 7400 and 8100. In 2011 GM built a 100-million-unit Chevrolet small-block V8 unit, generating a general engine layout (apart from evolutions and derivatives that have been seen for decades that it has been built) the most widely produced V8 engine in the world, as well as one of the most commercially successful machines ever.

Chrysler and GM have designed a larger V8 displacement based on modern small-scale V8 archives such as Chrysler's 6.1Ã, L (372.2 cuÃ, in) and 6.4Ã, L (390.6Ã, cuÃ, in) Eagle and Apache Hemis, and LS7 7.0Ã , L (427.2 cuÃ, in) LS version of GM and latest new LT engine.

Today, professional V8 racing is still common with American cars. Track cars typically use engines of about 4-7Ã, L (240-430Ã, Â ° c) in size. Pro-stock and superstock drag racing engines typically use big-blocks (400-600 cuÃ, in (6.6-9.8Ã, L)) Chevrolet or Ford Boss engines, some more than 800Ã, Â ° c at (13.1Ã, L ), and one 1,005Ã, Â ° cuÃ, at (16.5 L) large blocks of Chevrolet engine engineered by Sonny Leonard Racing that can be turned into 8000 rpm and generate over 2,000 hp (1,491 kW, 2.028 PS) and 1,500 lb ? ft (2.034Ã, μm) of torque naturally aspired to regular pump gasoline. Dragtres fuel Top Fuel drag nitromethane-powered competitive and professional car racing classes are funny generally use the conversion of aluminum Chrysler Gen II Hemi. Superchargers for engines are based on "blowers" used to increase gas pressure intake in large 2-step diesel engines, such as Detroit Diesel. There is also a Ford 500Ã, Â ° C (8.2Ã, L) Boss Top Fuel/Cute car engine.

Australia

The Australian V8 is usually an American-made unit from either Ford, Chrysler or General Motors.

The Holden small-block V8 is an all-designed and manufactured 90-Â ° pushrod OHV engine, manufactured in capacities 4.2Ã, L (253 CID), 5.0Ã, L (308 CID, then destroed to 304Ã, CID), and 5, 7 L (355 CID - Manufactured by Holden Special Vehicle, never really built as a 'production' motor). First introduced in 1969, stopped production in 1999, it supported various Holden vehicles including Kingswood, Monaro, Torana and Commodore, and proved to be a popular and successful powerplant in Australian motorsport (mainly Touring cars). Repco also developed and built the Repco-Holden Formula 5000 engine for Formula 5000 racing. Repco used blocks and castings from the Holden 308 V8 engine as a base, [9] but featured many modifications including Lucas fuel injection and dual coil Bosch ignition and over 150 special components designed by Repco.

The small block of Leyland English V8 is also a pushrod OHV engine, but it is an all-mixed block like Buick/British Rover V8 made by America. Stroke was increased to provide a capacity of 4.4Ã, Â ° C (270Ã, Â ° CuÃ,). This motor was originally designed and fitted to the Leyland P76 sedan.

In 2014, the only V8 produced in Australia is 5.0L V8 built by Ford Performance Vehicles to drive FPV GT & amp; Model GS. This motor is a combination of parts that are sourced from America and partly produced locally. The V8 used in Holdens is currently sourced from GM in Canada, a modified version of the GM LS-series engine.

When production of the Ford Cleveland V8 range for the American market ceased in the early 1970s, the tool was moved to Australia where Ford's Australian arm continued to produce a local version of 351 along with 302 Cleveland. Australian-made motors are also sold to De Tomaso for use in Pantera and Longchamps. Australian production stopped in 1982, with the last Cleveland-powered Falcon being the XE range (1400-odd 302 and 409 351s).

Rolls-Royce V-8 is the first British V8. It is a 3.5Ã, square machine (214Ã, cu in) with side valve and angle 90Ã, Â °. To compete with electric cars, the priority of this engineering technique is the serenity and refinement of the direct power and deliberately shallow design to mimic the look of the city brougham.

A Rolls-Royce V8 is a Meteorite, armored vehicle and marine engine derived from a Rolls-Royce Meteor V12 tank engine using two-thirds of Meteor cylinders, the Meteor itself is developed from the Merlin aero engine.

In 2017, Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, McLaren, and Radikal continue to produce V8 engines.

Aston Martin

The V8 used at Aston Martins from 1969 to 2000 was based on internal design by Tadek Marek and used in various models, starting with 1969 DBS V8, followed by Vantage, Virage, Volante conversion versions among others. After Vantage was discontinued in 2000, there was no V8 model until the introduction in 2005 Jaguar's AJ-V8 hand-made version of dry-tub with 4.3 L (262 cuÃ, in). Blocks, heads, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, camshafts, inlets and exhaust manifolds, lubrication systems and engine management are all unique to Aston Martin. It's used in V8 Vantage. In 2008, the capacity was increased to 4.7 L (287 cuÃ, in) by using pressed cylinder liners instead of cast-in liners. Aston Martin has since grown from its engines, both V8 and V12, from American Ford manufacturers with additional supply of future engines from Mercedes-Benz Germany.

Autovia

A subsidiary of Riley, Autovia launched in 1936 with 2.9Ã, ° L (177Ã,  ° C) 90Ã, V8 to take on the likes of Rolls-Royce and Bentley. The triple camshaft engine was developed from a pair of 1 liter Riley engine blocks.

The 4.5Ã, L is used in Daimler Majestic Major, (1959-1968).

Jaguar

Jaguar introduced its first V8 engine, AJ-V8, in 1996. It has been developed and updated in various capacities from 3.3Ã, L (201Ã, Â ° cuÃ, in) (marketed as 3.2Ã, L) to 5.0Ã, L (305Ã , Â ° C) in). It comes with a variable valve timing and, more recently, direct injection. The 4.0 L L (244 cuÃ, in), 4.2 L L (256Ã, cu in in), and 5.0 L L (305Ã, cuÃ, in) engines are available with supercharging options for the top specification models.

The AJ-V8 featured in the list of 10 Best Ward Machines in 2000. It has been used the latest executive, luxury and sports car Jaguar in which it replaces both AJ6 and V12 units. The AJ-V8 can also be found in some upscale Ford and Lincoln models as well as at the Speedback GT and Land Rover David Brown Automotive, including the unique capacity of Land Rover 4.4Ã, L (269 cuÃ, in). Land of Land Rover

In 2006 Land Rover added TDV8 to its engine list. This diesel-powered, twin turbocharged, 90 Â ° V8 is made with solidified graphite iron blocks and aluminum heads that offer good strength but lose weight. The initial capacity is 3.6 L (220 cm) which produces 472 ftbb (640Ã, Nm) at 2000 rpm. In 2010, the capacity increased to 4.4Ã, Â ° L (269Ã, Â ° CuÃ, in) increased the torque to 546Ã, ft? Lbf (740Ã, Â ± m) at 1,500 rpm. Currently being used in Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

Project 918 is a V8 engine introduced by Lotus for S4 Esprit in 1996. The machine is a 3.5-liter (214 inch) unit designed at home by Oliver Winterbottom, with twin turbochargers and aluminum construction.

McLaren

In 2010, McLaren Automotive, along with Ricardo, developed 3.8L twin-turbocharged engines (232Â ° c) at M838T, for use at 12C supercars and then 650S. It is also used in the highly modified plug-in hybrid form in hypercar P1.

Radicals

Radical Sportscars offers the V8-powered car, the SR8, whose Powertec RPA engine is based on two Suzuki Hayabusa engines that join the common crank, utilizing the original head with a specially designed block.

Riley

The Riley 8/90 engine was launched in 1935 Motorshow. The two machines OHV Riley 9 chime at 90 degrees.

Rolls-Royce

The first Rolls-Royce V8 debuted in 1905 but was short-lived. The company is better known as the L Series V8 which started development in 1952 and entered production in 1959, a joint venture between Rolls-Royce and Bentley led by engineer Jack Phillips. Following contemporary design practices, it features a top valve (OHV), a central camshaft and a wedge-shaped combustion chamber. Some features are inspired by Rolls-Royce Merlin plane engines, including aluminum blocks with wet liners, dental-driven camshafts, (initially) outboard plugs and ports.

First used in Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and Bentley S2 while still available in modern Bentleys. The initial version was 6.25 Ã, Â ° L (381Ã, Â ° CuÃ, Â °) whose displacement increased to 6.75Ã, Â ° L (412Ã, cuÃ, in) in the 1970s. Turbocharging in various Bentley models started in the 1980s with increased power output in several steps. Currently producing 530 bhp (400 kW) and 1,100 N? M (810 ft lb) at Bentley Mulsanne Speed, while meeting Euro 6 and LEV II emission standards. It was not until 2007 that the final component that could be traced back to the 1959 machine was replaced.

Rover

The first Rover plunge into the manufacture of the V8 engine comes with Rover Meteorite or diesel gasoline, derived from a 60 Â ° V12 Rolls-Royce Meteor engine used in British tanks from 1943. Meteorites are used in trucks and carriers as well as for marine and stationary use.

Rover needed a more powerful engine in the mid-1960s for passenger vehicles. Managing director of Rover, on his way to America where he saw the example of Buick 'Small Block' 215 in Mercury Marine's experimental department and was impressed by its light weight and small size relative to its output and potential. The 3.5Ã, L (214Ã,  ° C) V8 is only  £ 12 (5.4 kg) heavier and less than 1 inch (2.5 cm) longer than 2.0Ã,, L (122Ã,  ° C ) in straight-4 Rover. He sent the aluminum machine back to U.K. for evaluation. It works well on big Rovers, which are much shorter, lighter, and stronger than straight Rover 6, and Rover gained the manufacturing rights for it. The machine was introduced in Rover saloons in the late 1960s.

The machine is marketed to small car manufacturers such as Morgan, TVR, Triumph, Marcos, and MG. Land Rover also used the V8 from 1970, first in the Range Rover ranging from 3.5A (214 cuÃ, in) on the previous model, in the utility defender from 1980 onwards, and later on the Discovery model, where it was upgraded to 3.9 Ã , L (238Ã, cuÃ, in) and 4.6 LL (281 cuÃ, in) in the 1994-2002 model.

The original Rover V8 has ended production, but MG Rover decided to reverse Rover 75 in 2002 to fit the Ford Modular V8 4.6A (281 cuÃ, in).

Standard

In October 1936, the Motor Company Standard introduced the 'Flying V-Eight' model featuring a 2.1 L (165Ã, Â ° C) flathead V8 that developed 20 RAC horsepower. Used in the flagship model of the company's 'Flying Standard' range, but customers prefer the larger, roomier straight-6 'Flying Twenty' model, which costs less than Flying V-Eight. Only 250 machines were made and production ended in the summer of 1937. Standards still had some sold in 1938 at reduced prices.

Triumph

The 1971 Triumph V8 uses the Slant 4 engine as a starting point. Initially it had to be equipped with fuel injections, but due to lack of funding at Leyland Motors parent company, the system was never perfected and twin carburetors were used instead. Low quality manufacturers produce engines with poor reputation and V8 3.0Ã, L (183Ã, cu in) are only used in Triumph Stag.

TVR

The TVR sports car specialist company also produces their own V8 engine in the form of 4.2 L (256 Â ° c) 350 bhp (261 kW) and 4.5 L (275 cuÃ, in) 440 bhp (328 kW) for the TVR Cerbera racer and Tuscan. Designed by Al Melling, the APJ8 machine is known as Speed ​​Eight and features a flat-crank and unusual crank of 75 Â ° V. The lightweight machine, weighs only 121 kg of dried.

Chinese

First Automobile Works introduced the first V8 engine in Asia in 1959, used in Hongqi luxury cars.

Czech

Tatra used an air-cooled V8 engine from 1934, when it introduced the Tatra 77 (the first aerodynamically designed series car). It culminates in a 2.5Ã, L unit used in various Tatra T603 cars. The most powerful one is installed for the racing variant - known as the B-5. This is a higher compression version of a standard engine that replaces a standard 2BBL standard carburetor with two 4BBL downdraft units on a new induction manifold. Tatra then manufactures other air-cooled engines, used in the Tatra 613 and later, in the Tatra 700. The machine is renowned for its reliability, good fuel consumption, and sound-specific.

In the Tatra 603, two engine-driven fans help draw cool air into the engine room - when the vehicle moves air in through the intake in the rear wing pan and runs out through the cut-out beneath the bumper and next to the engine itself. In Tatra 613, a large ventilator pushes fresh cold air into the engine room.

Tatra has been using V8 air-cooled engines in their heavy duty trucks to this day in the Tatra 815 and other models.

French

While France developed the first V8 engine, they used it for a pioneer-era aircraft before 1910. The French company De Deion-Bouton car produced a V8 engine for sale in a car in 1910. During the Art Deco era, a French-style car in the 1920-30- such as Delage, Delahaye, Talbot-Lago, Bugatti and Hotchkiss et Cie using Inline-6 ​​engine and Inline-8 cylinder.

In 1934, Citroën developed the Traction Avant V8 (The 22CV), but possibly due to corporate bankruptcy that year, the machine was never finalized for production.

Ford Socià © à © tà © Ã… © Anonyme FranÃÆ'§aise built the V8-powered car through the Matford subsidiary in Strasbourg, France from 1935 to 1954. After World War II, the vehicle rammed Ford. Simca bought Ford SAF in 1954, including the right to continue the V8 development, at Simca Vedette. Facel, bodywork subcontractor for Ford SAF, also built the V8 car, using the Chrysler engine, from 1954 to 1964.

After World War II, France imposed a very steep horse tax rate - car owners with engines over 2 liters were financially punished, so France has a very small domestic market for larger-engined cars, like the V8.

Both CitroÃÆ'¼ng SM and "PRV" (Peugeot, Renault, Volvo) V6 effectively motor 90 degrees V8, with two cylinders removed. A SM V8 was created as a test bed for the 1975 Maserati Quattroporte that never saw full scale production, due to the 1974 bankruptcy of CitroÃÆ'¡n. This car is fully developed and suitable for use on the road. The 1973 oil crisis made the French car with a V8 engine even more difficult to rationalize.

In the 1970s. Gordini also developed the V8 3A for Alpine A310, but the Renault 4 cylinder block was installed not due to cost issues.

France does not currently build a V8-powered car for road use.

German

The German company that produced the V8 engine included Argus Motoren, Argus As 10 which produced the reverse V8 airplane-engine aircraft reversed from 1928 to 1945. Horch introduced the V8-backed 830 Series in 1933 as a smaller alternative to their inline-powered 8 models.

In the early 1960s, Mercedes-Benz introduced the world's first post-World War II V8 engine by German/European manufacturers with their M100 machines, first used in 600 Pullman Limousines and later in their high-end sedans like 300 SEL 6.3.. Successors M100, M116 and M117 are available on the roadster and coupe SL and SLC as well as the S-Class four-door sedan.

Other companies that make V8 engines include Volkswagen Group (Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, MAN, Porsche, and Volkswagen), BMW, and Stoewer.

Italy

Alfa Romeo
Alfa Romeo Montreal is supported by a 2.593 cc (158.2 cuÃ, in) 90 Â ° quad-cam dry valve V8 (type 00564) originating from the Tipo 33 race car. Due to the limited space available for crankshaft cross-plane, crank counterweight small but heavy physique made from a sintered tungsten alloy called turconit. The Montreal V8 is rated at 230 hp (170 kW) on a flywheel and weighs 162 kg (Â £ 357). There are also eighteen 33 Stradale cars built with the Tipo 33/2 flat crank machine broken off 1,995Ã, cc 260Ã, hp (190Ã, kW). Montreal's cross-crank engine is also used in the very limited production of 22 Alfetta GTV2.6i. The sports car Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione has a 4,691 cc Ferrari (286.3 cuÃ, in) 450Ã, PS (330Ã, kW; 440Ã, hp) cross-crank V8.

Ferrari

In a way, Ferrari had their first contact with the power of the V8 with the "Legacy" Lancia D50 in 1955. Ferrari adopted the V8 configuration for themselves for racing in 1962 with 268 SP. The first V8-powered Ferrari road car was 1974 308 GT4, with 308 GTB already known to follow behind. The Company continues to use this Dino V8 engine since its 328, 348, and its successors. The smallest Ferrari V8 (and indeed, the smallest ever) is the 2.0Ã,® L (1990Ã, cc) unit found in 1975 208 GT4. The company produced a larger V8 2.0 L V8 at 208 GTB and a Ferrari F40 2.9D L in the 1980s. This is a turbocharged engine to reduce road tax cars in Italy. Cars with engines that replace more than 2.0 Liters are subject to much higher tax rates. The Five-valve-per-cylinder version of Ferrari's 3.5Ã, L and 3.6Ã, L V8 is found on the Ferrari F355 and Ferrari 360. The old Dino V8 has been retired for 2004 with the introduction of 4.3Ã, L V8, based on the original designed Ferrari Maserati 4.2 V8, in F430 and California. And the successor to the F430, 458 Italy, with 4.5 V8.

Fiat
The only Fiat that has the V8 is Fiat 8V. The engine is very compact OHV 1996Ã, cc (122 CID) V8 with angle of 70Ã, Â ° V and 2 valves per cylinder. Fiat 8V is designed to participate in Italian two liter racing class. Fiat also built the Diesel V8 introduced in 1975 Des-8280 naturally aspirated to produce 350 hp (261 kW) for their heavy truck and then replaced by a turbocharged unit in mid eight.

IVECO
The only Italian V8 diesel engine built by IVECO since 1984, was named IVECO-aifo. This machine is used for example in heavy-duty IVECO special trucks Turbotech, Turbostar (360, 380, 420 and 480 PS), Eurostar (480 and 520 PS), built-up Orlandi Poker coach, Astra HD7 (8x4 or 8x6,520 PS) electricity and marine applications.

Lamborghini
Lamborghini build V8 engines for some of their car lanes, including Urraco, Silhouette, and Jalpa. Lamborghini is also ready to build a V8 engine for Urus.

Lancia
During this brief period Lancia used the V8 engine above them from various luxury cars in the interwar period. The first V8 engine in the Lancia vehicle was available in 1922 at Trikappa with 4595 cc (280 CID) making 98 bhp (73 kW). In 1928 they introduced Dilambda with 3956Ã, cc (242Ã, CID) V8 which developed 100 bbhp (75 kW). Then in 1931, the Astura was inaugurated with two smaller versions of the existing V8, 2604Ã, cc (159Ã, CID) and 2973Ã, cc (181Ã, CID) with 72 bhp (54 kW) and 82 b bpp (61 kW). All of those machines feature a narrow angle of the Lancia V trademark (less than 25  °). At the end of 1987 Lancia introduced the top of their luxury sedan Lancia Thema 8.32 (Y9) powered by the V8 from the sister company of the Ferrari 308 brand. It was a 3 liter unit (2927cc), showing the 32 cylinder while 32 indicates the number of valves. This model has a very low production rate and was produced until May 1992.

Maserati

Maserati has used the V8 for many of their models, including Maserati Bora and Maserati Khamsin. This machine was originally designed as a racing engine for the Maserati 450S. The latest company 4.2Ã,® L V8, found in Maserati Quattroporte and Maserati CoupÃÆ'Â © & amp; Spyder was originally designed by Ferrari, and is associated with a 4.3 L V8 in the F430.

Japanese

Japanese manufacturers are traditionally unknown to V8 engines in their roadcars. However, they have built several V8 engines to meet the needs of consumers, as well as for their own racing programs. In Japan, the V8 engine is considered an expensive luxury item, because the Japanese Government's machine move regulations impose annual annual taxes on machines that exceed 2000cc. Most Japanese manufacturers have introduced and installed a 2.0L V6 engine on a large Japanese vehicle that is strong enough, making the 2.0 L V8 impractical.

Honda
Honda has never built its own V8 for passenger vehicles. However, it rebadge the Land Rover Discovery Series I with the Rover V8 as a Honda Crossroad for the Japanese market. In the late 1990s, the company rejected considerable pressure from American dealers for a V8 engine with Honda America reportedly sent one V8 drink delivery dealer to silence them.

Honda has built the V8 for the race, especially for Formula One. Honda is the sole engine builder for Indy Racing from 2006 to 2011. Honda Indy V8 has a 10,300 rpm redline. Also, their affiliates Mugen Motorsports (now known as M-Tec) have built racing V8s that eventually find their way to limited production automobile roads as well as concept cars. Their MF408S engine, which drives cars in ALMS, is also found in prototype racers such as Mooncraft Shiden. This is a Honda Legend engine based on Honda Max concept.

Mitsubishi
In 1999, Mitsubishi Motors developed a 4.5 L V8 headed alloy, dubbed the 8A8, with dual overhead camshafts and direct gasoline injection technology (GDI) for use in the Proudia and Dignity models. Financial pressures forced the company to stop selling both vehicles after just fifteen months.

Nissan
Nissan built its first V8, Y40, in 1965 for his President's limousine. The Y machine has been replaced by two V8 families, the VH series during the 1980s and 1990s and the new VK series, also used in selected Infiniti models.

Toyota The family of the first Toyota V8 engine is a V-series used on Toyota Crown Eight's luxury car introduced in the month April 1964. This machine was still used in Toyota Century limousine from 1967 onwards until it was replaced by V12 in 1997. The other Toyota V8 family is the UZ engine and its successor, the new UR series, both of which have been used as a generator for Toyota trucks and SUVs as well. such as trucks, SUVs, and large cars from Toyota's luxury brand, Lexus. Toyota has also built the Formula One V8 engine under the RVX series for the Toyota Racing, Williams F1, Midland F1 and Jordan Grand Prix teams.

Yamaha
While better known as a motorcycle manufacturer, Yamaha also makes engines under contract from car manufacturers. They currently produce V8 engines with Volvo Cars Volvo XC90 and formerly Volvo S80. They also had contracts with Ford in the 1990s to produce V8 (3.4 L) for the Ford Taurus SHO.

Korean

Hyundai produces a number of V8 engines including D8 diesel, Omega 4.5A (275 Â ° C) - originally a Mitsubishi design (see above) - and 4.6A L (281 cuÃ, in) Tau.

Swedish

The most famous Swedish V8 engine manufacturer, probably is Scania AB, with 14Ã,® diesel (854Ã,  ° cuÃ,), which was released in 1969 for use on 140 heavy truck models. At this point, the 350 hp (261 kW) turbo-charged engine is one of the most powerful diesel engines on offer in Europe. Scania continues to use the V8 as its largest displacement engine at 16Ã,® L (976Ã,  ° cuÃ, in) generating a maximum of 730 hp (544 kW), for R-series, G-series, and P-series (in buses and coaches he uses I6). The emission norm ranges between Euro 3-Euro 6 depending on which market the vehicle is sold.

Philip's 1950s Volvo concept car also has a V8 petrol engine. The car never went into production, but the engine evolved into a 120 hp 3.6 liter V8 (in many aspects of the "double B18" engine) for use in light trucks Volvo Snabbe and Volvo Trygge since the late 1950s.

The small-scale Supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg has developed a twin-turbocharged 5.08 V8 (305 ° c) in producing 1140 bhp for use in their Agera model. This machine is unique because it is a flexible fuel engine and produces more power when running biofuels than without the usual lead. Previously Koenigsegg using Ford Powerplant, the Ford Modular 4.7L V8.

Soviet

ZIS, ZIL
For ZIL-111 (1959), the all-new 6-L OHV V8 aluminum was developed, initially producing 200 hp (149 kW) at 4200 rpm.

ZIL-114 (1967) powered by 6,960 cc (425 cuÃ, in) V8 delivers 300 hp (224 kW) at 4400 rpm. The more modern derivative model, ZIL-41047, powered by a ZIL-4104 engine, a 7680 cc V8 carburetor delivers 315 hp (235 kW) at 4600 rpm.

ZIL trucks use (and still use) these engine modifications (iron beam, aluminum head, 6L, 150 hp (112 kW) at 3200 rpm, compression rate 6.5: 1, one 2-bbl carburetor).

GAZ (ZMZ)

Some cars are produced under the Volga brand name: GAZ-23 (1962-1970), GAZ-24-24 V8 (1974-1992), and GAZ-31013 V8 (1982-1996). In addition, the two generations of GAZ limousine Chaika (1959-1982 and 1976-1988) were powered by the all-aluminum OHV 5.5L V8. These engines are designated ZMZ-13 (GAZ-13), one 4-bbl carburetor), ZMZ-14 (GAZ-14), two 4-bbl carburetors), ZMZ-2424 (Volga GAZ-24-24), ZMZ - 505 (two 4-bbl carburetors) and -503 (one 4-bbl carburetor) (GAZ-24-34, GAZ-31013). The power output varies from 195-220 hp (145-164 kW). The same engine modifications are also used in military armored vehicles BRDM-2, designated ZMZ-41.

The GAZ-53 is powered by a 4.254Ã, cc (259.6Ã, cuÃ, in) ZMZ-53 engine, which is substantially modified from a Chaika engine with a 2-bbl carburetor and reduced displacement and compression ratio. A more modern version of the GAZ engine for medium trucks is set ZMZ-511.

Spanish

Spanish truck and sportscar company Pegaso made about 100 cars in the 1950s and 1960s. There are two types of machines; Z-102 and Z-103/4 engines.

The Z-102 was first introduced in 1951 is an advanced design of sporting quadruple camshafts (two per bank) and has 2 valves per cylinder. It is available with 1, 2 or 4 twin Weber carburetors and is usually aspirated or with one or two superchargers. It has three different capacities, 2472 cc (151 CID), 2816 cc (172 CID) and 3178 cc (194 CID) and is made between 165 bhp (123 kW) and 360 bhp (270 kW).

Z-103/4 developed in the mid/late 1950s (the first prototype made in 1954) is a much simpler design destined to drive a whole new range of luxuries and sportscar. It has a single central camshaft and 2 valves per cylinder driven by pushrods. It's a half-ball burning chamber (like a Z-102 engine) and twin spark plugs. It is available with three different cubic capacities as well, 3900 cc (238 CID), 4500 cc (275 CID) and 4700 cc (287 CID). The 3.9 L engine has a twin Weber carburetor and a 4.5 and 4.7 L 2 carburetor Weber four-fold engine, which delivers power output of over 300 bhp (220 kW). Very few machines of this type are manufactured installed in the Z-102 car.

Flights

In flight, the V8 engine has been used by various applications such as pre-World War One Renault 8G supported by many pioneer aircraft, World War One Hispano-Suiza 8 supported by many fighters including SPAD XIII and Curtiss OX America -5 supported coach Curtiss Jenny, and many other aircraft in the early postwar period. During World War II, Argus As 10 was reversed, the German V8 air-cooled used in trainers and small utility planes.

Marine

There are many marine diesel engine configuration V8 including two-step diesel engine Brons V8, and engine by Scania and Yanmar. However, the configuration is not common in large marine engines. In June 2015, WÃÆ'¤rtsilÃÆ'¤ publishes a new type of machine (WÃÆ'¤rtsilÃÆ'¤ 31) which is also available in the V8 configuration. The 8V31 weighs 56 metric tons and is rated at 4,880 kilowatts (6,540 hp).

Motor

Moto Guzzi of Italy built a 4-stroke DOHC V8 motorbike with a capacity of 148 kg (326 Â £ lb) 82Ã, bhp (61Ã, kW) air-cooled for Grand Prix racing between 1955 and 1957, called the Moto Guzzi Grand Prix 500 cc V8. It is known as Otto Cilindri, and has a very high power output but is not developed optimally. Each cylinder has its own carburetor.

Around 1964, a lecturer in TT Malaysia motor technology, Tauno Nurmi built a 4 cc 350cc DOHC V8 engine with the name V8 PREMIER. The V-corner is 90 ° and air-cooled. Each cylinder has its own carburetor. This is the design and construction itself.

Morbidelli produced 848 cc V8 in 1994. Previously, Galbusera had produced a two-stroke V8 in 1938.

Honda released the NR750 in 1992. This motor has a 750Ã,® cc V4 with an oval piston, utilizing 8 valves per cylinder and 2 conrods per piston; the design allows the engine to meet FIM racing regulations that limit the number of cylinders up to 4, while providing valve area (and hence increasing efficiency) of V8.

Motorsport

For the 2.5D L Formula One era 1954-1960, two British racing V8s were built in Coventry. One of them is Coventry Climax FPE named Godiva, and the other is a little-known Brooke Weston. Due to Coventry Climax's decision not to release the machine to Kieft, HWM and Connaught at the time, Godiva did not debut until 1966 when he ran under the 3 Liter formula on Shannon F1 in the British GP with an enlarged 3 Liter displacement. Brooke Weston DOHC V8 is scheduled for installation on the ERA, but this does not materialize because Leslie Johnson's declining health encourages the sale of the ERA, which withdraws from the project.

Lancia ran Vittorio Jano designed the V8 DS50 engine on the Lancia D50 in 1954. When Lancia withdrew from racing in 1955, Ferrari bought Lancia's team and continued to expand it. Juan Manuel Fangio won the 1956 Driver World Championship on the DS50-powered Ferrari-Lancia D50.

Formula 1 Era in 1961-1965 including V8 engine from Ferrari, Coventry Climax, BRM, and ATS. Ferrari, BRM and ATS use their engines in their cars, while Coventry Climax and BRM sell machines to constructors. Apart from the 1961 World Drivers' Championship Phil Hill, which he won on a powered Ferrari V6, all other World Drivers riders (Graham Hill in 1962, Jim Clark in 1963, John Surtees in 1964, and Clark again in 1965) drove. V8 powered cars for their victory. Also, from 1962 to 1965, the top three manufacturers in the Producers Championship each season all used the V8 engine in their cars.

The first two seasons of 3.0Ã, L normal aspirated/1.5Ã, L Supercharged Formula One era 1966-1986 were won by Brabham cars with Repco V8 engines. From 1968 to 1981, F1 was largely dominated by teams using the Cosworth DFV engine. During this time, the Manufacturers' Championship was won by Cosworth DFV powered cars every season except 1975, 1976, 1977, and 1979, which was won by 12-cylinder Ferrari. Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, James Hunt, Mario Andretti, Alan Jones, Nelson Piquet and Keke Rosberg each won the World Drivers' Championship in the Cosworth DFV powered car, while Emerson Fittipaldi won two and Jackie Stewart won three.

Throughout the 1970s Cosworth V8 faced tough competition from the V12/Flat 12 Matra, Ferrari, and Alfa Romeo engines. However, due to the 90 degree V8 design from Cosworth, it's much lighter, simpler, more fuel efficient and more compact than its 12-cylinder rival. What makes the Cosworth V8 competitive is because the compact and narrow engine has a frontal area of ​​less than V12/flat 12, giving the team a better aero balance so downforce and straight-line speeds are better. In the late 1970s, Lotus used a venturi tunnel "ground effect" with a "shear skirt" to improve groundholding and the Lotus 79 supported by the FV V8 dominated the 1978 season, ending Ferrari's three-year dominance of the constructors' championship. Ligier and Brabham also switched from heavy heavy V12 to DFV during the 1979/1980 season. 15-year-old DFVV Cosworth is narrow and fits better ground effects than a flat Ferrari 12. British car kit teams use old machines to exploit soil effects to win the drivers' championships in 1978, 1980, 1981, and 1982.

Between 1995 and 2005, all Formula One cars used a 3 liter displacement engine, in 2005 all V10. Then the rules and safety issues by the FIA ​​consider the speed to be too high to be safe, after a full turbocharger ban in 1989, the size of the allowed machine was further reduced to 2.4 V8 L. This reduced the average engine power output from 900-950 bhp (670-710 kW), in the 2005 season, to an average 2006 season around. 750-800Ã, bhp (560-600Ã, kW) - equivalent to the power output achieved at 3Ã, L around the 1999/2000 season. It also has the effect of reducing overall costs for the team, the goal being pursued by the FIA.

In the Top Fuel class of Drag Racing, the V8 engine that replaces the 500 cuÃ, in (8Ã, L) currently generates output over 10,000 hp (7,457 kW, 10,139 PS), (1000 hp per cylinder) and 7,400-foot of torque Based on Chrysler Hemi and runs on a very explosive Nitro-Methane fuel, this powerful engine drives the car from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 0.2 seconds, from 0-161 km/h (0-100 mph) in 0.8 seconds or less, and from 0-523 km/h (0-325 mph) in less than 4.5 seconds.

The NASCAR series of America's premier car racing series has been dominated by American V8 engines since the introduction of the Oldsmobile Rocket 88 engine.

The world's fastest non-jet-powered engine, the piston-powered, ground-wheeled, Speed ​​Demon, that reaches a speed of 462,345 mph, powered by an American V8 engine. This vehicle uses a highly modified V8 engine based on Chevy's small-block architecture, ranging in size from 299 to 388 cubic inches, with power output from 1980 hp to the smallest unit of 288 cui, up to 2670 hp and 1310 lb. -ft. torque for 388 cui units.

BriSCA F1 Stock Cars UK (and its partner from the Netherlands) uses an American V8 engine for racing; usually a small Chevrolet block for a tarmac track and large block, replacing as much as 590 cu at (10 Â ° L), for racing on shale oval. The V8 Hotstox, which often runs on the same schedule as the F1 BriSCA cars, tends to use a Rover V8 engine with a capacity of about 3.5 liters, which was originally based on an American Buick V8 215 engine.
