| These are good touring cars with a lusty V8 at the sharp end and rear wheel drive. |
|
| But the Ford V8 had its limitations, as did the chassis, so he set about designing his own mechanicals. |
|
| The engines range from the in-line 6's to the 4.5 litre V8 as well as a turbo-diesel version. |
|
| Then comes a 4.2 litre naturally aspirated V8 with 300 bhp and the range topper is the XJR, where the same V8 is supercharged to produce 400 bhp. |
|
| It's the best idea, so we are in favour of considering a formula with a 2.4 V8 in the future, and also to consider how to extend engine life. |
|
| They took the recently overhauled 610-horsepower V8 Ford racing engine plus tools and accessories. |
|
| And if properly looked after, the big V8 is a lovely motor that will behave itself and deliver a low, buttery burble as you cruise along. |
|
| I may have to go out there and snavel myself a sexy guy with a V8, flannel shirt and dubious odour. |
|
| The big V8 gulps fuel and even with a relatively light foot it still burnt unleaded at the rate of 14.5 litres per 100 km. |
|
| Twist the key and blip the throttle and the beautiful looking 4.2 V8 roars like a true racer. |
|
| Top it off with a V8 engine, a latchkey and booze, and you get the Debbys and Beths, the sad good-time girls. |
|
| Plant the right foot and a subdued V8 bellow could be heard as it just shoots itself forward, and this happens at any speed. |
|
| Like the V8 it mates to a five-speed automatic with adaptive shift control and a manual mode that matches engine revs on downshifts. |
|
| For example, the GM V8 in the GTS is still a pushrod engine. |
|
| Be ready with the slightest twist of opposite lock and this machine dances round bends, while the V8 lags behind like a bodybuilder in a marathon. |
|
| The car had put on so much weight that a V8 engine was required to keep it motion, and the big, square body was so bulky it was really more of a convertible tourer. |
|
| This mid-engined road racer is saddled with a supercharged version of the bulky 5.4-liter V8, an engine no more suited to a modern supercar than to a Focus. |
|
| Its supercharged V8 betters the Corvette's output by 100 horsepower. |
|
| Costing nearly pounds 140,000 the Blenheim is no cheapie but offers blistering performance from its six-litre V8 engine. |
|
| The V8 engine adopts Atkinson cycle to enhance fuel efficiency at cruising speeds and Otto cycle for higher performance levels when accelerating. |
|
|
|
| It was based on a Series III with a V8 engine and a shortened belt drive from the Alvis Scorpion light tank. |
|
| Long wheelbase, fat, big, V8 gas guzzler, soft suspension, fur on the dash, apple on the aerial, for the typical macho American hillbilly. |
|
| Honda, despite being known as an engine company, has never built a V8 for passenger vehicles. |
|
| For the following year, the team signed a deal to use Ford's HB V8 in their new Lotus 107s, designed by Chris Murphy. |
|
| With the new normally aspirated engine regulations in 1989 Lotus lost its Honda turbo engines and moved to Judd V8 engines. |
|
| Each wheel had its own engine, a Nailhead Buick V8, so called by hot-rodders for the small size and vertical placement of its valves. |
|
| The GT spec you get with the V8 further adds Brembo brakes, a fussier alloy wheel design, a very slightly different grille, launch control and a couple of 'GT' badges. |
|
| Arriving at the first stop in a small town called Coliseo, Rory bragged about his Chevrolet V8 that was quickly recognised by the locals, compared to Chris' Maserati. |
|
| For the 2003 season, V8 Supercars introduced a medal in honour of Sheene, the Barry Sheene Medal, for the 'best and fairest' driver of the season. |
|
| This coincided with a rule change mandating the use of V8 engines, making it likely that both Red Bull Racing and Ferrari would use the same specification engine. |
|
| Lotus developed its own series of four cylinder DOHC engines, the Lotus 900 series, and later a V8, and turbocharged versions of the engines appeared in the Esprit. |
|
| The vehicle features a shaker-style hood, ducktail rear spoiler and is equipped with a 455 cubic inch V8 engine that delivers 655bhp and 610 lb-ft of torque. |
|
| Lotus at times were hard pressed fighting off the less powerful naturally aspirated V8 cars during the season and rarely challenged either McLaren or Ferrari. |
