The Dodge R6P8 is a 5.87 litre, naturally aspirated V8 racing engine that Dodge developed and built for NASCAR competition between 2008 and 2012. It made its debut at Kansas in the fall of 2008 in the Camping World RV 400, driven by Kurt Busch for Team Penske, and by May 2009 it had reached other teams such as Richard Petty Motorsports. The engine is a dry-sump design with a compacted graphite iron block, aluminum alloy heads with two titanium valves per cylinder, a billet steel crankshaft and eight high pressure port fuel injectors, and it is rated at up to 900 horsepower under the 2012 rules package with a service life of about 1,000 miles. Dodge withdrew from NASCAR after 2012 when Team Penske switched to Ford, but leftover Dodge bodies and engines kept racing in lower series until 2018.
