The only manual V8 RWD sedan left in America is a compelling proposition all on its own; the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a reminder of what AMG used to be, and after being refreshed for 2025 with new looks and a 33-inch touchscreen, it's on par with German automakers in the interior tech department. The 2025 CT5-V Blackwing didn't get any performance enhancements when it was revealed at the beginning of this year, and we didn't think it needed any, but now Cadillac has addressed the issue with a new Precision Package that promises enhanced handling for all driving conditions.

Since being introduced in 1989, six-cylinder Cummins diesel engines have enjoyed years of success. In addition, the 6.7L Cummins I6 is a good engine, earning high levels of owner satisfaction while powering several generations of Ram pickup trucks since 2013, and given the dominance of the Cummins 5.9L 6BT and its 6.7L I6 turbo diesel replacement, it's understandable if you find yourself asking if Cummins even makes a V8.

When it comes to building engines, one philosophy is that the bigger, the better. Six cylinders? Why not eight? Ten? Twelve? Another philosophy is to work smarter, not harder. If you can get supercar specs out of six cylinders, why drag the car down with all that extra aluminum and cast iron? Track records are frequently made and broken on a difference of 100 pounds of curb weight, and with how much juice you can get out of turbochargers and electric motors these days, it's no wonder some of the quickest cars in the world have some of the leanest engines.

The Highest Horsepower V6 Engine Available In 2024

V8s get a lot of attention when it comes to enthusiast cars, but the humble six-cylinder has become remarkably prevalent in an era where downsizing and turbocharging give you more power with a lower cylinder count. The six-cylinder strikes the balance between four and eight by providing a mix of an engine that can be smooth, reliable, and highly tuneable in the right scenarios. Six-cylinder engines in automotive use are typically found in four configurations:

It could be argued that the Kia Telluride is the Korean automaker’s franchise player.

SlashGear has traditionally focused on advancements in terrestrial transportation like cars and motorcycles, but we've devoted plenty of space to discussion of marine engines as well. We've presented a guide to Yamaha outboard motors, a similar primer on boats powered by electric motors, and a spotlight on General Motors' partnership with a hybrid marine engine manufacturer. Most marine engines fall into one of three formats. Many recreational boats use outboard motors, which mount to a watercraft's transom and have a propeller shaft mounted perpendicular to the driveshaft.

There is a perception that a V-patern engine is better in terms of performance and efficiency, but the reality is a straight-six has so many advantages over its V-6 cousin. An inline engine only needs one head, gets by with half the cam shafts, and is easier to cool. I-6 engines also produce more torque at lower speeds and are perfectly balanced, making them quieter with less vibrations. Most importantly, a straight-six is cheaper to manufacture.

With its production run spanning four decades, and eight generations, the Pontiac Grand Prix was among the GM-owned carmaker's most popular vehicles. For most of the decade after its 1962 introduction, Pontiac positioned the Grand Prix as a full-size performance coupe. Over successive generations, however, the car would undergo several transformational changes, culminating in it eventually becoming a four-door sedan by the time its production run ended in 2008. Well over a decade since the last Pontiac Grand Prix rolled out of the assembly lines, the car is still very much in demand — especially the older variants of the car dating back to the '60s and '70s.
