The V-6 engine used to be the happy medium, providing more power than a four-cylinder and better gas mileage than a V-8. Now, thanks to forced induction, V-6s can chug gas with the best of them and outperform many iconic eight-cylinders. In fact, there are cars packing V-6 engines that blow away anything with a Hemi V-8 under the hood.

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.

Even With 1,064 HP, the New Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Will Have a Tough Time Toppling the Z06

The Chevrolet Corvette is a performance car bargain. There's something for everyone, with the new 1,064-horsepower ZR1 sitting on the top rung of the ladder. But for those happy to settle for the 'entry-level' Stingray, there are great deals to be had - depending on what sort of car you drive.

Chevrolet Is Desperate To Make You Forget About The Camaro

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

Roush Performance has been upgrading Mustangs and selling parts for the pony car for nearly three decades. The seventh-generation Mustang arrived for the 2024 model year, and the aftermarket specialist is ready to wring every bit of power out of Ford's 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 engine. It has a new supercharger kit available that can increase the GT's output by a whopping 330 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.

Four-cylinder engines still don't have the same cachet as their bigger 6-and-8-cylinder siblings, but the auto industry is in love with them. Using a turbocharged 4-pot is an easy way to reach traditional 6- and 8-cylinder power while simultaneously reducing emissions. Although the 4-cylinder might never reach the iconic status of a V8, there are some impressive examples out there.

For 2025, the Toyota GR Corolla returns with the turbocharged three-cylinder engine and its stupendous 300 horsepower, but this sport compact car also makes 295 pound-feet of torque, a 22-pound-foot increase that was previously restricted to the 2023 Morizo special edition.

The 1,064-horsepower 2025 Corvette ZR1 has no equal. The last-generation ZR1 had a mere 755 horsepower—over 300 less than the C8 version. For that reason, developing this car presented some interesting challenges. How would the Corvette team develop the new ZR1's tires, suspension, and powertrain without having any data on something that powerful? The solution was interesting, to say the least.
