Although building their own engines is the dream of every sports car manufacturer, many have had to realize that it is cheaper and safer to use mass-produced units. The list of carmakers who used American V8 engine technology is long and includes illustrious names such as Bristol, De Tomaso, Facel-Vega, Iso Rivolta, Jensen, Monteverdi and TVR. So it seemed only natural to organize a cross-brand get-together of precisely these automobiles. On August 15, 2020, the time had come - despite corona - and they came in droves, including exotic cars. This report gives an insight into the meeting of the V8 hybrids and shows many of the cars in pictures.
