The 2009 and later Sports Cars have an engine which is completely redesigned. The "MA series" Carrera engines MA1.01 3.8 DFI , and MA1.02 3.6 DFI engines do not use the worrisome intermediate shaft design with roller bearing at the rear. There are other nice things they did to the engine including use of real gaskets for valve cover and oil sump instead of the cheapo liquid gasket utilized on the M96 and M97 engines.
Here is an article written by our friends Tony Callas and Tom Prine on the subject of the difference between M96 and MA series engines.
