Eight Cylinder V engine is tortured phrasing that does not serve to explain anything.
> V8 engines are more powerful than the four and six cylinder engines found in more than two thirds of the cars we service
This is also poorly written and not even necessarily correct. Modern V6 engines and Turbo 4s can be more powerful than older V8s.
- raldi 11y agoWhat's tortured about it? "V engine" seems to be a perfectly acceptable term of art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_engine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_engine
- csours 11y ago> Almost 14% of the cars we service have an eight-cylinder V engine, more commonly known as a V8 Re-write: About 14% of vehicles we service are powered by V8 engines with two banks of four cylinders in a V arrangement. The tortured part is that no car enthusiast or anyone in the car business would refer to it that way, and it also doesn't help anyone who is not a car enthusiast understand anything.
