When the normally hears or thinks about a V8 engine, almost always they're going to think of an American engine. After all, over the last 50 plus years, pretty much all US based performance cars are equipped with V8 engines. Obviously that's changing a bit with modern times, but the point still stands.

With that in mind though, the US is not the only country to produce awesome V8 engines, so today we're going to flip the script on its head and look at the best Japanese V8 engines ever.

There's some other engines from Japanese that I think are worth mentioning real quick, including the Toyota R36V which is an insane 3.6L V8 that outputs upwards of 1,000hp, the Toyota V which is Toyota's little known hemi V8 engine from the 1960s and we'll have a video on that soon, and the Mitsubishi 8A80.
