so i guess i still dont have to start eating?
Obviously Unsensible
yet another car that p platers wont get to drive, due to crazy conflicting laws
captain halfajob
well apart from the price putting it out of reach of 99% of p-platers, then you have the power, which would be over the 100KW per metrc tonne (which used to be the power/weight ratio)
but other than those two things, then yeah i guess you are right. damn conflicting laws.

Well, when you see a P-Plater driving a Ferrari 355 Spyder, you tend to rule prices out..

Cadillac ATS-V On the Way, Will Get Twin-Turbocharged V-6
Car and Driver
May 2011
by Jen Meiners
With the CTS-V and its awesome, supercharged V-8, GM's finest brand has a vehicle on par with offerings from Audi's Quattro, BMW’s M, and Mercedes-Benz’s AMG. And when the next-generation CTS rolls out, it will share its Alpha platform with a softtop convertible and a smaller sedan, the ATS. Given the success of the CTS-V, Cadillac insiders tell us an ATS-V also is a sure thing.
Theoretically, the CTS-V’s LSA V-8 would fit into an ATS-V, but that could cannibalize sales from the CTS-V. Rather, the ATS-V will be aimed directly at the next-generation BMW M3, which is expected to have a turbocharged inline-six. That, our sources tell us, is why the ATS-V will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 that should make around 380 hp.
Six-speed manual and automatic transmissions will be offered. We expect outstanding performance, with 0–60 times below five seconds and a top speed in excess of 170 mph. We have to say, though, that we’d be a lot more comfortable with Cadillac using a V-8—the brand’s last experiment with turbocharged sixes didn’t go so well.
Using a six in the ATS-V also opens up another exciting possibility: a small run of über-ATS-Vs with the incredible LSA—think of it as Cadillac’s Black Series. While that seems unlikely, Chevrolet’s fitment of the engine in the Camaro ZL1 proves that forces within GM will still back overpowered, limited-interest, but boundlessly awesome products.

Customize your life.
What ever this engine can make, expect holden to cut that by 5-10%. can't touch v8 territory can they. but in all seriousness, v8 sales are huge now why would you.
apparently its going ahead and they will have it in the 2013 vf.. only 221kw and 400nm though :P

So was the Supercharged 6 and look where that ended up.
You are forgetting that the americans even put V8s in FWD chassis
