It's pretty rare to see any straight-eight-powered cars on the road today. This one makes a terrific sound.
There are dozens of fantastic-sounding V-8s out there. But if you're into more obscure engines, this supercharged Packard straight-eight should do the trick.
The engine is an 327 cubic-inch eight-cylinder set up in an inline fashion, taken out of a 1948 Packard. It has four carburetors and a supercharger pushing five pounds of boost. Powering a 1930 Ford Model A body up the Colorado Hot Rod Hillclimb event in 2016, it sounds sort of like a V-8, but different enough to stand out.
