Those black rear wheels (BBS sticker?) look great.

Has it been confirmed that this will be a 6.2L?

Yup...6.2L with about 650 hp...it's probably the last iteration of our most favourite V8

Interesting - thanks.

Just recently, I read (in one of the U.S. automotive rags, don't recall which one) speculation that it was going to have the M157 with MCT, instead of the M159 with DCT. Didn't realize that the engine choice had been unveiled yet.

An N/A M159 from the factory with around 530 wheel horsepower sounds pretty stout... wonder how they were able to coax so much more output out of it?
