If that's true, I'm all for it, I guess they're trying to make up for loss in the capability of a high-reving V8..
F1 tech in the 80s had turbos revving way higher. And using less advanced materials. They could easily make a turbo engine that hits 8k+ ... Thr would make this engine more special to me and would then Be on my buy list. I remember a year ago I emailed BMW NA saying I woul buy the the I model if they could keep the f1 style revs lets hope they pull this off.
