David vs. Goliath: Cars With Four-Cylinder Engines That Can Destroy V8s

Chevrolet Camaro

Modern times brought modern versions of some legendary cars. The best example of this is the new Chevrolet Camaro. Chevy has equipped it with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Muscle car purists may wonder why Chevy would produce a four-banger Camaro. However, the new Camaro turbo is an excellent car with performance ratings better than those classic V8-powered models from the 1960s (via Motor Trend).

Under the hood is the 2.0-liter four-cylinder that delivers 275 hp. In just 5.1 seconds, it can propel the heavy coupe from 0 to 60 mph. It can reach up to 155 mph for a top speed. Although the new four-cylinder Camaro may not have the glorious soundtrack of a V8, it has the performance and fuel economy that the V8 has always lacked. The motoring press loved the new downsized engine, and this version has proven how far technology has come.
