This awesome engine displaces 5.0-liters and despite its size, still manages to rev all the way to 7,500 rpm. While it may share some similarities with the 4.4-liter engine from the Volvo XC90, it has been completely redesigned with a host of carbon fiber components helping to make it as light as possible. And whereas you road-car may only have a single throttle, this insane V8 as one throttle body for each cylinder!
