9 Awesome V8 Sedans That'll Soon Be Turned Into 4-Cylinder Hybrids.

There’s nothing as beautiful as the sound and feel of a perfectly timed V8 engine. While the V8 engine used to be incredibly popular in the performance car segment, manufacturers have been working overtime to create smaller, more efficient powertrains. 

This has resulted in many automakers replacing their V8 powertrains with 6-cylinder engines that are just as powerful. However, Mercedes went a step further by replacing its V8 model with a 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain. This innovative powertrain manages to produce even more power than the previous model, hinting at the fact that other manufacturers may follow their lead.

Thinking about snatching a V8-powered sedan before they all make the switch? Here are 10 awesome V8 sedans that you should buy before they get turned into hybrids.

BMW M5

The BMW M5 has consistently held the title for the most powerful BMW ever made. The latest facelift models come with spectacular V8 engines that can produce around 600 HP with ease. However, the new M5 CS takes the cake with a 627 HP engine that can also produce around 553 lb-ft of torque.

While BMW has not been as active in the EV space as other brands, they have made some significant pushes to electrify their cars. The new M3 and M4 models come with MHEV powertrains for increased efficiency, but since its main rival switched to hybrid technology, they may be thinking about making the switch soon as well.
