The turbo model would be soooo killer. who cares if it doesnt rev as much as it should, turbo kills it.

Twin turbo could so easily exceed 300kw.

Great new motor. One interesting point I read and heard discussed by a motoring guy on the radio was that surprisingly the new overhead cam 4-valve V6 will get no better fuel economy than the current Ecotec.
The reason was that even though there is much higher level of technology, there is a lot more moving parts thrashing about in there that all have their own demands on engine power. The actual number of parts it takes to build the motor was also discussed...something like 700 in an Ecotec, and 1300 in one of the new motors...


But I'd still throw one in my VS-II Berlina.... ;)
