Massive motors for minimal money are a PH favourite - here's a hearty half dozen of them 🥰
Many of the names on this list will be familiar from many a bargain barge shortlist, so here’s a curio - remember the Volvo V8? The 4.4-litre S80 really was a bizarre car even at a time of Passat W8s and Clio V6s; the fast Volvo reputation was built on turbos, and the S80 was never a car desperately in need of more power, yet in 2006 came the 315hp, 325lb ft, 155mph, all-wheel drive flagship. The V8 was built by Yamaha, too, for yet more intrigue.
This is right up there with the E38 7 Series, which also arrived in 1994, in demonstrating how to make big cars with presence and class. It was also advanced, too, ushering in VW Group’s D2 platform – an all-aluminium monocoque affair that helped bring the weight down and keep the structure ridged. Although this isn’t an A8, of course. This is the best of the breed: the S8 4.2 Quattro. Again, it wasn’t overly made up.
