Being behind the wheel of a beast is the ultimate thrill for any car enthusiast. Driving a car that packs power and roars just by the slight touch of the gas pedal is so much fun. The rush you feel when you slam the pedal and you are pushed into your car seat as the car tears down the road is exhilarating.
Powerful engines, however, have a voracious appetite for fuel. The starting price on these monsters is not pocket-friendly either. But drivers have learned to make the most of what they got. Tuning up and pushing their V6 engines to the max. Highly advanced V6 engines can now perform like a V8 engine or sometimes even better. Here are some fast cars that pack powerful V6 engines
9 2019 Nissan GT-R
The 2019 Nissan GT-R, popularly known as “Godzilla”, is one of the fastest supercars you can buy. This Japanese supercar packs a handmade V6 engine. The Nissan GT-R is built to handle any track, with the monstrous engine pushing the Godzilla from 0-60mph in 2.9 seconds.
This rocket on wheels is an all-wheel-drive car. It pushes 565bhp, and its top speed is 200mph. The only downside of owning the Godzilla is that it is a guzzler. Fuel economy is not part of the 2019 Nissan GT-R’s menu. Nonetheless, the $99,990 starting price of the 2019 Nissan GT-R is quite affordable for a car of its class.
