From the article:
The 3.6-litre twin-turbo V6, which has been co-developed by GM Racing and factory Holden team Triple Eight, will only be available to teams on an annual lease.
Although it is claimed that the scheme will save teams money because the yearly lease fee per engine includes scheduled maintenance and replacement, with no development costs, some have complained that the arrangement makes the sale of cars more complicated.

Well then, this is getting a little messy. Unable to run a V8, you'll never own your V6 engine, and you're not allowed to develop them either? And then when you go to sell the car, it either comes with a necessary contract to get engines from GM/Red Bull or without an engine? Wow, if only Ford had an alternative. Or even Nissan. There'd be teams knocking their door down...
