Never seen that one before, but if thats a V10 Northstar there's only one logical place for it. And thats on the Corvette, which backs up what I've been saying for a long time,and that is in the future we may see the Corvette as part of the Cadillac Line up. Which makes good sense to me.

it's the engine slated for the new cadillac supercar. car is not as ugly as the evoq but gm stylists in caddilac seem to be obsesses with sharp angles and weird shapes IMHO.

the new supercar engine is very high tech and compact. almost the same size as the current v8s.

don't expect to see the high tech carbon fiber intake, it will be redone in the nylon.

very nice engine!!!! glad to see GM building something like that, now let's see if the car makes it!!! :jester

The 6 runners are very clear, but all I see is 5 pipes on the exhaust.
I guess its all that chrome. Almost looks like a photo shop picture. :eek:

It isn't news, as it was announced by GM in August. :)

Rear timing chains, "small on the outside, big on the inside". Displacement on demand, 4 cammer with variable phasing.

Bad Bob motor. :yesnod:
