  • With EVs taking over, ever-stringent emissions regulations and a war on the car in general, are we in the dying days of the V8? Matt and Alex discuss all things eight cylinders while, appropriately, driving the new V8-powered Audi RS7.

    I have a Charger R/T 5.7. Is it sophisticated? No. Is it light? Nope. Fuel efficient? Not really. Are there faster V8s out there? Yep.
    So why do I drive the damn thing daily? It's loud. It's dumb. It's bright blue. And the torque kicks like a mule. Cars are about stats now instead of how they make you feel, and that's a bit sad honestly, because every time I cold start my car I start grinning like a dumbass. You can't replace that feeling with a "quicker" car.

    The general rule of thumb is every 10 years the car industry drops 2 cylinders in their supercars, to keep the petroleum comsumption stable but fair to the producers. Eventually it will be 4 cylinders and the price of petrol will be 15x the price we pay now.

It will be hard to create content as entertaining and digestible as Auto Alex, TDC and ATG, which are basically the only car channels I am subscribed to.

      Not really.. If you want your engine to last, you spec it according to the usual load, so that the engine is under a proper load instead of never heating up and getting a regen on the DPF. Therefore truck engines are also more often than not something else than V6/8...

    8:22 eFuels simply will never be viable for an everyday car. The only market for eFuels is where electrification for a vehicle is not yet possible & classic cars for a bit of weekwnd driving.
    eFuels when burnt have exactly the same emissions as regular fuel. to make eFuels you use huge amounts of electricity hence the high cost. eFuels will NEVER be cheap enough to compete with BEV's as ICE engines are so inefficient compare to electric motors.
    Using electricity to produce e-Fuels (or hydrogen) is inefficient. It has and will always be more efficient and cheaper to charge a battery in a BEV............
