It was the third automotive magazine to be published by Parkside Media, the other two being NZ Performance Car and NZ Classic Car.
NZV8's offices are in Grey Lynn, Auckland, New Zealand.
The magazine's tagline was originally Feel the power. It was changed in issue 32 (January 2008) to NZ's top circuit, strip and street machines.

Magazine contents
As of the December 2008 issue (#43), the typical magazine contents include:
Website
Daily news articles are available weekdays which are additional to magazine content. Full magazine articles are available from previous issues, often including additional photos and information (including videos) that could not be fitted into the magazine. Some writers run blogs on the website, and a forum is run as a subsite to encourage user interaction.
Users can purchase books related to muscle cars, Pony cars, V8s and motorsport, as well as back issues and subscriptions in the online shop.
Online games
Jetsprint Legends is the first game in the world to feature jet boat racing on New Zealand's jet boat tracks.
Television
The inaugural season of NZV8 TV was broadcast in 2009 over 13 weeks as a part of Powerbuilt Tools Motorsport on TV1, Sunday afternoons.
Editorial staff
Editor Todd Wylie was former assistant editor of NZ Performance Car magazine.
Notable contributors
V8 Supercar driver Jason Richards has a monthly column. New Zealand V8s driver Andy Booth presents NZV8 TV.
Government policy
Like its sister publication NZ Classic Car NZV8 has supported various parties in lobbying Land Transport NZ for easing rules on car modification, frontal impact laws for low volume vehicle certification and steering systems. It is recognised by the V8 industry as working for their benefit.
Awards
Publisher Greg Vincent received the Meguiar’s Collector’s Car Person of the Year Award.
