The Australian International Motor Show is on in Sydney at the moment and Holden has taken the opportunity to unveil a concept car fitted with a variable V8.
Under load it will fire on all eight cylinders but at cruising speed the engine will shut down four of its cylinders to improve fuel economy.
At the moment the variable V8 only has concept status but we may see it advance beyond the concept level quite quickly … at least we should hope so.
A Holden V8 Where Less is More

This is going to be good for those that hold back from buying a V8 simply because they can’t see the value in spending all that money on fuel. Sales for the V8s should pick up!
It’s a great idea, but I hope you can also disable it if you wish to.
