I love it, decent capacity at 3.4 litres for low revs and low fuel consumption, very compact and low frontal aero envelope. The direct injection conversion was a must for LMP1, single turbo can easily handle 600hp or so......gets my vote
To me this engine won't be a low rev - dyno type. I expect figures like the ford gt motor used in GTE/GTLM. Close to 8000rpm and about 600-650Nm for the whole rpm range. To reach 700hp at 8000rpm the engine need to produce 625Nm.
