V8 engines have had tremendous success since dominating the American muscle-car era.

Many times, they've powered some very upscale automobiles, from expensive hypercars, to luxury sedans, and super SUVs.

But as governments continue to tighten emissions rules, V8s and higher capacity engines are dying out in favor of smaller mills, EVs, and hybrids.

Ferrari 's 4.5-liter F136 V8 was the world's most powerful naturally aspirated V8 engine when it debuted under the hood of the mid-engine Ferrari 458 Italia in 2010 .

Early versions had a top-oiling system where oil is sent to the camshaft and valvetrain first before reaching the crankshaft.

After prolonged race use exposed a weakness in the engine's bearing protection, Ford decided to switch to a side oiler.

This not only fixed the issue but culminated in a durable V8 engine that went on to claim a win at the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans under the hood of the MkIV GT40.
