From the loud and lovely V12's, to the extreme high revving V10's, it's now time to write the V8's in the history books

...So why not remove the rev limiter and give it some brutal torture

From Renault / redbull, here is 'the last fire up':

​ Bring on the randomness!
Apparently I actually exist! Or maybe it was the drink?

lovely...was really hoping they (reb bull) would blow it as thats what they wanted to do


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

That is one gnarly sound, imagine being in close proximity and in that closed environment with all that sound pressure bouncing off the walls!  Now imagine what the high revving V10 wold have sounded like in years gone by!

Loved the exhausts glowing red hot under high revs, pretty awesome stuff.   Just a shame we're dropping from V8 @ 18k rpm to V6 @ 15k rpm next year.   Let's hope they sound better on the road than they do in the dyno.    

Farewell V8, it's been fun! :worship:
