V8 coupes - axlon


Which V8 coupes do you think are cool? I reckon the BMW 840i is an underrated car that looks better than the new 645i.

The 840 is an absolutely gorgeous car but the 645 is nicer.

I'd have either in a shot.

80's Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
Best car the world has ever seen, and it's got cool coming out the wazoo.

A proper Ozzy HSV monaro is a very cool car.

I love the 840 but the V12 850Csi is a monster. The old 6 series was great but the new one is not a patch on it.

It's a shame the old 6 series didn't have a V8. Beautiful car, but maybe a bit under engined given it's size & weight? The new M6 has the V10 5 litre, but the regular 645i doesn't have a lot of torque compared to something like the Vauxhall Monaro. What do you think of the new 630 CSi, is it a genuine model, or just something for those that can't afford the V8 & V10 versions?
