I'm curious. They've made it very powerful, and to me, it's a darn hot looking car. I have liked the SLS since it came out and this is pretty similar. But just being powerful, is not going to make it a Porsche killer.

the turbos are not mounted on the outside of the cylinder banks but rather inside the V configuration. Mercedes calls this a "hot inside V" setup, and while Audi and BMW do that too, they claim theirs is the world's first sports car engine with 'hot inside V' and dry sump lubrication.
Cool, I've been out of the loop, I hadn't heard/read about the "hot inside V" setup.
