Ford's new Coyote V8 set to bite | Holden | HSV

Now we just wait for GM's answer. A VVT SIDI quad cam 7.6L V8 haha

well i reckon its about time they made a decent v8

7.0L V8 LS7, as seen in the W427, except Supercharged.

Should easily root out 500kW

As always, I find holdens lack of forced induction disturbing.

 

[ryno_vrx]

holden has turbo diesels lol

 

[ashbox]

holden wont use the ls7 again, they'll more thanlikely use the ls9.

mmmm 6.2litres of supercharged goodness

Thats pretty good.

I like it when manufacturers and their engineers put in a bit of effort and extract more power from smaller capacities, rather than going for a larger donk and using less thinking like Holden does.

Agreed, I have been discussing this engine for past 6 months with a friend who is a design engineer at ford. In the tests they have done in moderate and aggressive tunes, the engine sounds damned impressive. No doubt holden will now come out with a 12.8 litre monstrosity just to keep all the fan boys happy. GM are too 1940's to come up with a whole new smaller engine that delivers just as much and more as their oversized tanks.

umm, isn't that exactly what they have been doing with the sidi 3.6 and 3.0?

I was unaware that engine was a V8?
