There’s a reason why so many people covet a car with a V8 engine – they’re fast, they sound great, they’re packed full of power, and most of the best cars have one. Let’s take a look at some of the newest cars with ridiculously high-powered V8 engines. You might want to remortgage the house after this…
Dodge SRT Hellcat Redeye
Just look at this beauty and tell us you don’t want to take her for a spin! Dodge have given their Challenger Hellcat a few upgrades for this year, including that rather jaw-dropping Redeye trim. Of course, it comes complete with a supercharged V8 that will turn all heads in the neighborhood when revved. It also packs an impressive punch with 797-horsepower.
Mercedes-AMG GT R
If you want something that could definitely be taken on the track, if you felt so inclined, then you’ll want to get your hands on the Mercedes-AMG GT R. It comes complete with their 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that’s ready to blast that 577-horsepower. Do we want one? Yes. Can we afford one? Probably not.
Ferrari GTC4Lusso T
It may look like some kind of station wagon from the back, but cut it some slack. Everyone knows that there’s nothing that really competes with a Ferrari engine – and you can get this in a V8 or a V12 twin-turbo. The rear-wheel-drive only comes with the V8 engine, however, but that’s totally cool with us. The 563-horsepower ensures this makes some serious noise, too. Well, it is a Ferrari after all.
Special mentions also have to go to the Lexus LC500, the Jaguar XE SV Project 8, and (of course) the Ford Mustang Shelby GT350. All of these have seriously impressive V8 engines, we just can’t decide which one we want!
