the 918 V8 engine revs up to about 9000rpm to get 610hp and peak torque is around 550Nm between 6000-7000rpm. These figures make the 918 engine almost virtually identical to the gibson lmp2... no doubts it can be a competitive motor, but compared to a turbo engine (bespoke or not) will lack of low-mid torque and fuel efficiency.
The second one is not a big problem because bop will give a proper fuel tank and fuel rig diameter, but the lack of torque in the traffic can't be bopped.
To me the most logical choice would be to use a racing tuned version of the 2.9L V6 TT of cayenne S, it should be already equipped with DI too.
