4.8

Now this number has some very interesting engines to choose from, but my choice this time is the 4.8 Litre V8 From Porsche. This engine is only available in the least "pure" Porsches, but it is the last V8 engine Porsche fits with a manual.

This engine has been since the last generation of the Cayenne, and it only has gotten better and better. You can get the Cayenne or Panamera GTS with a stick (410 HP 380 lb. ft. Torque), and that thing in Turbo S spec can reach 540 HP and 550 lb. ft. of torque!

So tell me, What is the best 4.8 Litre Engine?

4.8 LS based truck engine. Cast iron block, OHV cam in block, but it will rev like no ones buisness and hold boost like it was designed for it.

I always thought the AMC 290 V8 was a good engine. Very solidly built. Very economical, and the standard engine in the AMX.

Thanks! I just post VAG products because I am a fanboy. Also, If I had posted the LFAs V10, a lot of people wouldn't have commented. Im trying to make this popular

I saw that LFA engine and thought, you know what, I won't put it in because it will make all other answers non important. Fantastic engine!

Hahaha Thats the reason why! But in your case, you have driven lots of Porsches, and I have driven only like 3 VWs. One of them was a mk4 Jetta from a sisters friend. They both left for a party and left the keys and car in my house. I HAD to drive it! But that is a story for later...
