Official V-8 COUPE thread (as in 2 doors and 8 cylinders)

There is NOTHING like a nice throaty V-8 and 2 doors and I am happy the new M3 and Audi S5 will offer V-8s with 2 doors.

It got me to thinking about how important this offering is from Luxury brands. Lexus has always had a V-8 coupe for instance.

SO name your favorites and post pics if you can!! If anyone posts pics of a 4 door coupe or "well this V-6/I-4 is as fast as a V-8"= automatic ban

This means all coupes, from GTO's and Mustangs from the 60s to Maserati Coupes of today!

Nope, looks like it still has a backseat. Now if that were a rear-engined V8 RWD civic we'd be talking about something!

No, that's the griffin emblem of the Toyota Soarer :

They are for the pre-2006 SC430 which is the Toyota Soarer in Japan. It becomes the Lexus SC430 in Japan with the 2006 facelift when the Lexus brand was officially launched in Japan.
