You can now get your Honda VTEC fix from a 5.0-liter V-8. Just not on land.
It's a 5.0-liter V-8 that makes 350 horsepower at 5500 rpm.
It's intended for boats 25 feet and longer; pricing isn't yet available but the BF350 will go on sale next year.built a V-8. Unfortunately, it won't be showing up in a Ridgeline or a Pilot or an exceptionally boisterous Civic. No, the BF350 is an outboard engine, so if you want to rock Honda V-8 power, you'll need a boat—and not a small one. Intended for boats 25 feet and longer, the BF350 makes an easy 350 horsepower at 5500 rpm.
If you dream of driving a V-8 Honda on terra firma, there is a precedent for Honda debuting street-bound technology on the water. In 2002, Honda was all-in on naturally aspirated engines for its cars, but its AquaTrax F12X personal watercraft was powered by a dry-sump, turbocharged 1.2-liter four-cylinder that cranked out 163 hp. Did the AquaTrax lead directly to today's Civic Type R? We'd argue that it certainly didn't hurt.
But even if Honda never gives us a factory V-8 for the street, sooner or later a BF350 will undergo a dunking that results in an insurance write-off. And then, just imagine the Copart possibilities. There aren't any Honda V-8s on the highway just yet, but if some day in the distant future you see an Insight wearing 5.0 badges, there'll be an outside chance it's not a joke.
