What's Worlds most Powerful N/A V8 production engine?
Hello guys, I had a few discussions with friends about the worlds most powerful(regarding HP) NA V8 engine used in a production car, and somehow we couldn't find out which engine is the strongest.
The question is related just to engines which are used in a production car, means no racing, dragster engines etc.
So, I think the most powerful V8 NA engine is the one from the SLS Black Series.
My friends was arguing with Chevrolet having the most powerful NA V8, so I was searching for some specs and the best I found was the Chevrolet LS9 engine with 638 HP, but Supercharged.
Chevrolets most powerful V8 is the LSX454R with 720 HP, but its a Crate engine made for Drag races. Don't know if its supercharged.
They have also the LSX454 with 620 HP, made for drag racing too.
I couldn't find out what was their best production NA engine, I think it is the 512 PS 7.0 L from the Z06, if I am not wrong?
Fords most powerful V8 got 662 HP, but supercharged. Its in the 2013 Shelby GT mustang.
Does anyone know if a production NA V8 exists with more than 631 PS ? If YES, in which car is it?
btw, sorry for my bad english.

thx for searching. I thought maybe I overseen one car, but I couldnt find a stronger V8 NA engine too.
Although 760 V12 is very impressive.
I heard from a car reviewer who was reviewing the Zonda R, that the engine(V12 6.0, 750 Hp) could produce 900 HP without restrictors, but I'm not sure if I understood him right.
If you or someone else is interested I can post a link.
btw, I'm not sure if I am in the right section of this forums for Threads like this, maybe a mod can push it to the right place if its wrong.
thx, but I guess you hadn't german as a lesson in school as I had english or?
My english is ok, but its just distracting when I read english text, magazines etc. I understand nearly everthing, but when I have to write my mind down I forget all the words.
