The push towards providing more efficient and less resource-wasting vehicles has led to big V8s and the like being replaced with smaller four and six-cylinder engines instead, which is a bit of a shame. While more efficient, and sometimes more powerful pound for pound, smaller engines can’t quite match the smoothness of a proper old-school V8. In a good twist of fate, depreciation has led to older models with such engines being amazingly affordable in 2026, especially compared to what they retailed for in their prime.
