So the new Impalla that chevy has released has a option for a 330 HP V8 with 28 highway fuel consumption.

I believe it is called "variable displacement." My friend was telling me that the original design had issues with the pistons, crank, and rods getting goofed up when someone would want more power and they were switching from 4cyl to 8cyl. Supposedly, the new design has features that protect the engine from this.
