8.1.3 The maximum engine capacity will be 5000cc.

The actual link is here.

So, if the journalist's articles say the new engines will run alongside the current V8s, that certainly implies a 5000cc cap to me.
No mention of turbos in those rules. guess they are not allowed

The rules you have referenced are for this year and dont allow for Gen 2 in them

but yes the engines will run alongside the current v8s, But there is nothing in the rules as far as i can see that stop a manufacturer bringing along a different capacity V8
