the last bastion

I think the new aventador is going to be hybrid. Still NA but hybrid is worse than turbo for me.

 

Oddly enough Lexus lmao

Who else is still putting n/a v8's into their cars

IS500, LC500, RC-F

 

I see Ford keeping a n/a V8 in the Mustang even if it’s just the top line. Also think the Corvette will keep an n/a V8.
Turbo cars make power so easily it’s hard for manufacturers to ignore.

 

What's Jag doing these days? Aston?

 

Not all of them? I thought only vantage V8?

 

Why? I agree weight is an issue but if they add a tiny electrical motor/battery for compliance, I think most buyers won't care.

 

Batteries are soulless

 

You know I used to think that about every successive generation of cars. As I am getting older I appreciate each has its own unique character...even if that character isn't one I find all that endearing. If a tiny battery / motor lets me them keep making V12s, great in my book. As long the companies stay afloat and I can keep my humble fleet running without too much headache sourcing parts.

 

I don’t think that’s what they are doing though. I believe it’s 2 or three fairly big and heavy motors and batteries. The sf 90 curb weight is over 3900 lbs. However, it would seem that you are correct that buyers don’t care.

 

All cars look the same nowadays, unfortunately.
