If this is true, then I sincerely hope that product planners are working tirelessly right now to put a V8 in the car. Because, although the F-Type is great even with the V6, the V8 model is the one that makes it relevant and puts it in the conversation when you talk about AMG GT or Corvette for example.

This vehicle architecture is good enough for a neo-Supra, so it should be more than capable as the underpinnings for a world-class sports car that could be measured up against the cars I mention above and others. I sincerely hope they can make the business case for actually using the chassis to its full potential, and then giving it the power under the hood it deserves.
