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.

The mid-2000s saw the launch of new SUV that offered three-rows of seating, off-road capability, and V8 engine options. The Jeep Commander was the automakers answer to popular competitors like the Honda Pilot, Ford Explorer, and Toyota Highlander. One version of Commander even featured a 5.7L Hemi V8, making it one of the most powerful Jeep models ever built.
