I'm confused of the word "v8",not only I don't know what does that mean,but what does that represent for ,can you explain it for me ?
Colloquially, we sometimes refer to a car which has a V-8 engine as a V-8.
V8 engine
Some internal combustion engines (in some current cars) have a configuration in a V-shape that use eight cylinders to move us around. A V-8 engine is typically a larger engine and, as such, use more gasoline, but has lots of power. Often times, smaller engines use 4 cylinders or 6 cylinders that are typically less powerful, but more economical. Note that there are also V-6 engines, too, that configure the cylinders in a V-formation.
