HYWhich one? 🇺🇸🇩🇪
Two images reveal the stark engineering divide between American “muscle” simplicity and German “precision” complexity.
The American V8 uses a single camshaft and one short chain, prioritizing reliability and compact packaging.
In contrast, the German engine employs four camshafts and a labyrinth of chains to maximize high-RPM airflow and efficiency.
While the American design is typically easy to service, the German configuration often requires removing the entire engine for timing maintenance.
Do you prefer the rugged dependability of a pushrod V8, or do you crave the high-revving sophistication of a European DOHC engine?
