V8

Powerful car motor

V8 refers to an engine configuration with eight cylinders arranged in a V shape—two banks of four cylinders angled toward each other.

V8 engines are prized for their power and smooth operation, common in muscle cars, trucks, and performance vehicles: That Mustang has a V8 under the hood.

V8 is also a brand of vegetable juice, named for its original eight-vegetable blend.
