The European Union (EU) has been pretty ambitious in tightening emissions standards for vehicles, as it wants to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. Still, car manufacturing is a global venture, which means even the automakers based in Detroit have to pay attention to what the EU is doing. But getting rid of V8 engines is no easy task in the US. We Americans, or a large part of us, anyway, love our V8s, and don't mind letting automakers know about it. Mercedes-AMG brought a V8 back for the C63, and Jeep never went through with its plans to get rid of the V8 option in the Wrangler.
