The 17 Most Powerful Naturally Aspirated Cars You Can Get Today
Turbos are all well and good, but atmospheric is where it's at.
OCT 11, 2019
The current automotive climate is seeing a lot of automakers trade in their naturally aspirated engines for turbocharging, supercharging, or a hybrid assist. But there are still stalwarts sticking to sweet, sweet natural aspiration and no battery help. Listed from lowest to highest, these are the most powerful you can buy today.
Porsche 718 Spyder / Cayman GT4 - 415 HP
For the 718 Spyder and GT4, Porsche Motorsport took the 3.0-liter twin-turbo motor from the 992 Carrera, got rid of the turbos, and bored and stroked it to 4.0 liters. The result is 415 hp and an 8000-rpm redline. It's not not as spectacular as the 4.0 in the 911 GT3, but it's still a great mill. And it should make its way into more 718s.
Chevrolet Camaro SS - 455 HP
Borrowing its 6.2-liter V-8 from the C7 Corvette, the Camaro SS is quick from the factory in a way most of its predecessors could only dream of being. Opt for
the 1LE package for even more track-ready goodness.
Ford Mustang GT - 460 HP
For 2018, the Ford Mustang got
a host of updates to help it better compete with the Camaro. New cylinder heads and a clever dual-injection system help the Mustang's 5.0 match the Camaro's 460 hp. Get a Bullitt Mustang, and you'll have 480 hp to play with.
Lexus GS F – 467 HP
It's easy to look at
the Lexus GS F as a poor rival to the M5, E63, and CTS-V for its lack of a boosted V-8, but what it may lack in performance, it makes up for in charm. This 5.0-liter V-8 loves to rev and sounds glorious doing so.
Lexus LC 500 – 471 HP
The
Lexus LC 500 uses the same 5.0-liter V-8 as the GS F and RC F, but it's rated with four more horsepower. We're not sure why, but what's more significant is the fact that the LC gets a new 10-speed gearbox, where the GS F and RC F only have eight ratios to work with.
Lexus RC F - 472 HP
Lexus updated the RC F for 2020 and managed to squeeze out a bit more power from its 5.0-liter V-8. Buying an RC F is the cheapest way to get this V-8, and it's an intriguing alternative to a BMW M4.
Dodge Durango SRT - 475 HP
Equipped with a version of SRT's excellent 6.4-liter V-8,
the Dodge Durango SRT offer serious performance in a nice, practical package. It's the classic American muscle car formula, applied to a big family SUV.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT - 475 HP
Before the Durango SRT arrived, the only way to get a Hemi-powered SUV was with this, the Grand Cherokee SRT. It's the same engine, but in a slightly smaller package with a little more off-road cred. Of course, if you want more, Jeep will sell you a
Hellcat-powered Grand Cherokee.
Dodge Charger / Challenger Scat Pack / SRT 392 – 485 HP
Dodge offers its 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 in both the Charger and Challenger in Scat Pack and SRT 392 trims. With 485 horsepower and a wicked exhaust note, the Hemi provides pure muscle-car joy. Oh, and with
Scat Pack models starting around $40,000, these cars are a bargain too.
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - 495 HP
For the mid-engine C8 Stingray, Chevy opted to update the C7's base LT1 V-8. The resulting engine, the LT2, makes 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque and is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. No manual, unfortunately. The C8 will likely get another naturally aspirated engine—
a DOHC, flat-plane unit first shown in the C8.R race car.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS – 520 HP
The
new 911 GT3 debuted a 4.0-liter flat-six similar to the one used in Porsche's 911 race cars. In the top-dog GT3 RS, this engine makes 520 horsepower and sounds incredible revving to its 9000-rpm redline. It's also the only six-cylinder on this list.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 / GT350R – 526 HP
Ford went all out for
the 5.2-liter V-8 in the Shelby GT350 and GT350R, employing a flat-plane crankshaft for the first time in a Mustang. This engine makes huge power, but what's especially great about it is its 8250-rpm redline.
Audi R8 V10 Performance – 612 HP
The R8 is the only Audi to remain naturally aspirated, and we're incredibly thankful for it. In V10 Performance form, the R8's high-revving V-10 pumps out 612 horsepower, while the base model offers 562 hp. The noise it makes is heavenly, too.
Lamborghini Huracán Evo - 631 HP
The Huracán shares its V-10 with the Audi R8, but in the latest version, the Evo, it makes even more power. It's one of the greatest production-car engines ever, and we hope Lamborghini can keep it in production as long as possible.
Ferrari GTC4Lusso – 680 HP
There are very few cars that produce nearly 700 HP and offer room for three of your closest friends to ride in comfort. None except
the Ferrari GTC4Lusso have a naturally aspirated V-12. This 6.3-liter V-12 is a masterpiece, but it's not the most powerful Ferrari motor featured here
Lamborghini Aventador SVJ - 770 HP
The Aventador is due for a replacement, but it's not going quietly. That's not the Lamborghini way. For the SVJ, the Aventador's 6.5-liter V-12 is to produce an incredible 770 hp. It could be the last Lamborghini V-12 without some sort of hybrid assistance, so it's something to be celebrated.
Ferrari 812 Superfast – 789 HP
The Ferrari 812 Superfast, with its 6.5-liter V-12, is a masterpiece. We're not entirely sure how Ferrari managed to generate nearly 800 horsepower with a naturally aspirated engine, but we're sure glad it did.
Un volante digno de una videoconsola, no de un Ferrari de V12 delantentero que es un coche de pureta.
