I think what I said might have been misinterpreted... 'later' in this context has no specific meaning other than at some point in the future (could be later this year, could be next year, could be in the GRMN two years from now)
I will throw this out there though, a staged release has been...
Another hint, "everything is on a cycle, and that cycle is nowhere near complete."
So it sounds like the debut of this other motor will come later.
Beyond that, I have no idea..
I'm making 650whp stock driveline JZA70, aside from motor mods like cams, fuel, turbo, etc.
The stoutness of the jza80 is really the transmission, with the bump in displacement making more power under the curve, but that's about it.
Engineers reply:
"Believe the information we have given you versus what you see online. When the car is released it will explain your question."
So it sounds like they aren't going to give anymore for now, but that the iron block engine is somewhere.
He also said, "production prototype sure...
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...
Pretty epic shot right there, but more questions arise...
I had mentioned before that I felt a 4cyl and two 6 cyl trims would be available (purely my own thoughts), but now I'm curious if the iron block is indeed a top trim option (maybe GR?).
I appreciate that, Chikane, but it's no worries :)
My position with the A90 was the same one it is with Lexus and that is an engineering liason (at least on paper). In reality, I may do something quite a bit different, but I cannot elaborate further.
