The 2007–08 New Zealand V8 season (known for commercial reasons as the 2007–08 New Zealand TRUTH V8s Championship) was a motor racing series for New Zealand V8 touring cars. It began at Pukekohe Park Raceway on November 3 in 2007 and concluded at Teretonga Park on March 9 in 2008.

The championship was won by John McIntyre for the second successive year.
