Honda Introduces New V8 Engine With 350 HP But It’s Not For Cars

Honda has recently developed a powerful V8 engine, with a capacity of 5.0-liters. This naturally aspirated engine, equipped with VEC technology, can generate an impressive 350 horsepower. However, if you were hoping to drop this engine into your Honda Civic, you’ll be disappointed to learn that it is exclusively designed for marine applications. The engine made its debut at the Genoa International Boat Show in Italy.

The BF350 is Honda’s first V8 outboard motor and represents the pinnacle of their marine engine lineup. When purchasing the engine, buyers can choose between an Aquamarine Silver or Grand Prix White exterior case. Additionally, there are chrome-plated logos to enhance the aesthetics of the motor.

Ford Mustang Dark Horse R Takes The Pony Car To The Track

The Ford Mustang Dark Horse R takes the classic pony car and transforms it into a track-ready beast. It is equipped with the powerful 5.0-liter Coyote V8 engine found in other Dark Horse models, such as the Mustang GT3 and GT4. Although specific details about performance enhancements have not been disclosed, previous versions of this engine have been known to produce over 500 horsepower and 418 pound-feet of torque.

Sharing components with its Dark Horse counterparts, the Dark Horse R features a Tremec six-speed manual transmission, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and larger Brembo brakes. However, it distinguishes itself with track-focused modifications. These upgrades include essential safety features like a safety cage, adjustable anti-roll bars, FIA-certified seats, harnesses, and a safety net.

The Dark Horse R also comes with unique “beskope” wheels, which are wider than those found on the standard Dark Horse model. The front wheels measure 10.5 inches wide, while the rear ones are 11 inches wide. Ford has also made improvements to the oil system, as well as the cooling systems for the transmission and differential. In terms of aesthetics, the Dark Horse R sports a rear spoiler, custom Borla exhaust, and tow hooks on both the front and rear ends, reflecting its track-centric design.
