Default V8: The Engine of America | Full Documentary

If you like cars, and like Ford's, chances are you like V8's too. This video is a must watch. American made, naturally the doco is heavily US slanted, but then they did invented the V8 afterall.

Something that I find fascinating is how the current Ford CEO, Jim Farley, fully understands the importance of the V8 and its meaning to Ford customers. He spends his spare time on the racetrack racing various V8 Ford's, a true car guy.



And those glorious Coyote 5.0 engines, made at the classic Windsor factory.

That red hydrogen V8 ute near the end was pretty special!

Google claims the 1st V8 was French, Léon Levavasseur. The yanks were the first to apply the V8 in cars.
