My V8 emmits a white smoke and smells so bad (unburnt fuel smell), and I can hear a rattling noise under the car.Also there's a lack of power.
What can it be?

Please help......

Could potentionally be a problem with a coil pack failing. Are you getting a catalytic converter warning light on the dash (or are the cats glowing hot?)
