However, this isn't a hard and fast rule. A highly tuned and technologically advanced V6 could potentially outperform a less-refined V8. The actual power output depends heavily on factors like:
* Engine displacement: A larger displacement V6 might outpower a smaller displacement V8.
* Engine design and technology: Advanced features like turbocharging, supercharging, and variable valve timing can significantly impact power output regardless of cylinder count.
* Tuning: How the engine is tuned and optimized for performance plays a crucial role.
In short, while V8s *tend* to be more powerful, a direct comparison requires looking at the specifications of the individual engines being compared, not just the number of cylinders.
