The engine will be the P66 as found in the current car. Virtually everything will carry over. The change to M4 will be more about symbolism than advancing the state of the art in spec racing.

Even in the new United Sports Car Racing series (ALMS and Grand Am merger) which will be in its second season by the time an M4 could be readied, I am skeptical that we will see an S55-derived engine soon. I'm sure we'll see the F8x chassis there sooner than later though.
