I care, and I suspect at least half the people (the males) considering a Evora over a 911 would also care.
An engine of their own is the only way they could even come close to reaching their projection numbers. I for one don't want a Toyota engine in my sports car. I could live with a Subaru engine though, not sure if I can explain my perception or preference differences.
The Evora has already been out several years, it needs a game changer to keep pace with Porsche and a new engine may do that.
I'm not saying it was money well spent or well invested (the research funds), but if they were shooting for the 911 as reported, then they better be using some darn good ammo.
In for a dime, in for a dollar is an expression which comes to mind.
Play to win or don't show is another.
