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.

In 2024, electrified power will enter almost every industry segment and is undoubtedly here to stay, even if some manufacturers are scaling back their future plans.

The Jeep Compass enters a third model year with the updates that made it a much better vehicle, namely, the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. Jeep made the second-best improvement the same year, lowering pricing in 2023, then did it again in 2024, taking four figures off MSRPs across the lineup. That decision got the entry-level Sport trim down to $27,495, where it stays for 2025. The Compass continues to shed trims, though, the Latitude Lux no more for the coming model year.

Track rats considering adding the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing to their fleets may want to hold off buying the sedan until early 2025. That's when Cadillac says it will begin offering a new Precision Package developed for this unicorn of a car, a V8-powered rear-wheel-drive sedan making 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque that's sold as standard with a six-speed manual transmission. Everything happens in and around the suspension, starting with a larger front stabilizer, all-new bushings, and firmer spring rates. The front end wears new steering knuckles, the rear new toe links, both of which permit more aggressive wheel alignment. Engineers dialed in the greasy bits with recalibrated tunes for the steering, Magnetic Ride Control dampers, stability control, and electronic limited-slip differential.

In the 1960s, big-block engines were the top choice for muscle cars because they provided a lot of power by increasing engine size. However, these heavy engines made handling more difficult. By the 1970s, advancements in engine technology allowed smaller, lighter engines to deliver similar power. Here’s a look at the most powerful small-block V8 engines from the 1970s.
