From the CAD drawings it appears that the base ME will have an OHV N/A V8 and an optional high performance version($$$$) that will have a twin turbo V8 that appears to be a DOHC(but not a HOT-V TT V8 like the Cadillac engine that was announced a few days ago).

Default What about the Turbo Lag!?

Where is the electric motor for that. Those look to be larger turbos!
Anyway, a ME 911GT2 RS type of thing, and a Big Wing solution, Wins, BigTime! They could do it.
Nobody, knows how close they will get to that Benchmark. That would take a lot of air out of a lot of tires! Money / Brains!
  1. ZR2
  2. Z51
  3. C8.R
The FE would be very much forgotten about!
