Best 8 cylinder engine in the world

[pat88c]

I think it would be the latest bmw m3 e92 with 4.0L v8 DOHC S65B40
The S65B40 was based on the S85B50 5-litre V10 that powers the E60/E61 M5 and the E63/E64 M6


414 bhp (309 kW; 420 PS) at 8,300 rpm
peak torque at 400 N·m (300 lb·ft) at 3,900 rpm,
power increase of 22% over the E46 M3. The engine weighs 15 kg (33 lb) less than the outgoing six cylinder for a total weight of 202 kg (450 lb)

But in the M3 GTS has 4.4L v8 that produces 450 bhp (336 kW; 456 PS) (not sold in Aus )


I do agree some of the old chevy's ad ford v8 were great in there day but now they old technology that is use in drag racing, nascar and v8 supercars

funny u say this... in drag racing esp in supercharged outlaws, doorslammer and top fuel categories they still use fairly old technology, e.g. carby's, pushrod v8, the use of cams instead of a pheumatic (or however you spell it) valve systems.

and nascar dont use electronics and are still carby aswell which is awesome for reliable 800hp

no attack here just my 2 cents worth.

saw a guy on the tube with an older worked M5 making 1000hp, couldn't use it as a track car as the thing once leaving the corners would have no traction until the next corner lol

mmm M5 v8s

Holden haven't built a V8 since the old 5L, the rest are Chevrolet. Picky I know

Haha Holden haven't built anything themselves since '95 when they split off from Toyota. Dopey buggers.

This is by far the best V8 in the world..
