Few things compare to the beautiful melody of a V8 engine, and in South Africa this becomes available from around R800,000.
However, if you don’t want that sound emanating from a Toyota Land Cruiser, you’re looking at spending closer to R1,000,000 – which gets you arguably the most iconic name to ever be associated with a V8, the Ford Mustang.
Prices take a considerable jump from here, with the next two vehicles in line – the Lexus RC F and BMW M550i – both going for a hair over R1.5 million.
One thing that stands out about this grouping of “cheap” V8 vehicles is that there is no specific body style or brand that dominates.
There are SUVs, coupes, a sedan, a convertible, and a bakkie on offer – with the variety only increasing the further you go up in the price ranks.
