V8 Winter Meet (Switzerland)

V8-Winter-Meet (Dec 14, 2025) – A winter meet for V8-powered vehicles, embracing the motto “No replacement for displacement”​. This is a salute to big engines in the cold season. V8 fans bring whatever has eight cylinders: classic American V8 muscle, European V8 sports sedans (AMGs, M5s), V8 SUVs or trucks, maybe even a couple of V8 bikes (if any crazy Boss Hoss around). In the crisp winter air, the rumble of V8s sounds extra hearty. Some may fit their cars with winter tires to actually drive them (imagine a Mustang on snow tires!), others may trailer or just idle them in the lot for the sound. The meet emphasizes that even in winter, displacement rules – these folks aren’t hibernating all their toys. Perhaps mulled wine and gingerbread are offered to keep people warm while they chat about horsepower. The gathering could include some technical talk: how to care for a carbureted V8 in winter, or comparisons of V8 soundtracks. It’s one more opportunity for enthusiasts to unite around that visceral element – the throb of eight cylinders. As an end-of-year meet, it’s likely smaller but very passionate. Picture a circle of rumbling cars, steam from exhausts rising into the cold air, with owners in Santa hats raising a toast to “big engines and good friends.” A wonderful way to rev out the year.
