A V8 engine is an eight-cylinder piston engine in which two banks of four cylinders share a common crankshaft and are arranged in a V configuration.
The first known V8 was the Antoinette 8V, designed by Léon Levavasseur, and built since 1904 by the French Antoinette company for use in speedboat racing, cars, and later, airplanes.
Also in 1904, V8 engines began small-scale production by Renault and Buchet for use in race cars.
The Curtiss V-8 motorcycle motorcycle set an unofficial motorcycle land-speed record of 219. 45 km/h on January 24, 1907....
