Oh hai guys here's the engine of the goodwood car.

Look closely at what we can see. Dbw throttle, accessories, piping, ancillary feeds.

Google latest B58.

Not cut and paste, that's for sure. Could be B58TU I suppose, but who knows yet.

Well, previously I had thought the new motor was an iron block variant of the B58, which makes plenty of sense for both cost cutting and fitting nearly the same package under hood.

However, one of the people close to Tada said its a new architecture (not B58), so I ran with it as his info has always been solid thus far.

But that clearly looks like a B58, so what's the missing piece? Is this mysterious new motor in the 3300lb car? Is that why it's actually heavier?

If the case is the latter, will it actually have 4-450hp? Maybe the B58 car is the 340hp version.

Hmmm fair point. But rumours also said the goodwood car had the new engine right? Interesting. The inlet charge pipe us certainly morw reinforced than a usual B58, and there are definitely some differences but nothing ground breaking.

Similarly, the car that does 0-100kmh in 3.9s... That's with this engine I assume?

And it certainly sounds different compared to other B58, more than just exhaust too

BMW plastic cover with a Toyota logo as expected. It would royally suck if the windows have BMW ethced on them.
