yup, just like the new GT40 sounds, but a sign of the times I guess, but downsizing has now been proven to be a croc in europe, subsequently engines are getting bigger again with the advent of real-world drive cycles, thank god......I seem to remember the new DPi Nissan V6 turbo motor is NOT the 3.0 Litre Cosworth item from the failed front-engined LMP1 effort, but its actually a road-car based 600bhp twin-turbo 3.8 Litre V6 from the NISMO GT-R GT3, I must admit to being surprised by this, but I guess it already exists in NISMO and far cheaper than what Cosworth would ever charge.
