Doesnt sound too bad...

Utilising that sort of tech with those parts will make it cheaper for Ford/FPV too, leaving more dollars for other areas. As long as the QC is up to scratch wherever it's made

Very very interesting, yes drop this V10 rubbish and give us a nice bigger displacement 6-7ltr V8, with a shit load of low down grunt.

Be interesting to see what FPV could do if they got their hands on a couple. I can only imagine the amount of fun the engineers could have!

This is certainly a step in the right direction. Hopefully FOA have this engine too.
