1. A V engine is a common configuration in larger engines in which the piston?s are aligned so that if viewed from the front appear to be in a large V. The 8 refers to the fact that this configuration has 8 cylinders. There are also V6 engines, V12 engines, etc. The straight 8 configuration has all eight cylinders in a line, not offset into a V. The V configuration helps minimize vibration.

1. V8 is a beverage made of juices from 8 vegetables.
