The Opel DTM V8 engine family was a series of prototype, four-stroke, 4.0 litre, naturally aspirated DOHC V8 racing engines designed, developed and built by Opel and specially tuned by the German firm Spiess for the Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft touring car series between 2000 and 2005. It was based largely on the General Motors Northstar L47 engine, the same base as the Oldsmobile engine used in the Indy Racing League. The engine powered the Opel Astra DTM and the Opel Vectra GTS V8 DTM race cars, which were the factory entries of Opel in the series during those years.
