On paper, it looked like the future of diesel power, but in reality it became one of the most controversial engines of its time. Known for being heavy, fuel-hungry, and prone to mechanical issues, the V8.510 quickly gained a reputation for being unreliable under pressure. As environmental standards tightened, its smoke, noise, and inefficiency made it even harder to survive in a changing industry. In this video, we reveal the rise and fall of the Perkins V8.510, the engine that promised too much, delivered too little, and was eventually banned for being too powerful in all the wrong ways.
