McClaren P11 Supercar to sport AMG 5.5 TT V8! Maybe ours?
Just read this and sure sounds like our upcoming TT V8.
If so, E55 would be back in the house, and we are looking at 550hp. Nice!! Even nicer with aftermarket turbs or stockers turned up to MAX!!!

Look for a turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 from AMG that will be reworked and given a McLaren badge. It could check in around 550 hp. The unit could be paired with a F1-style quick-change transmission.

It actually looks like a progression of the original McLaren F1 to my but in a more production oriented form. I think it will look good once they take all the masking and fake ducts off of it.
