it would go just as fast and cost less with a V8 and no hybrid system.

>Only capable of 600 hp with two turbos

>>15260302
well yes, but that's not the topic here.

>>15260273
More displacement, more power in its NA form, because V8.

>>15260288
Takes up less space, ideal for executive commuter vehicles, FI for performance applications.

>>15260309
Fair enough, I suppose.

Depends on the V6. The EcoBoost V6 is decent enough, but Ford doesn't have a decarb process, and being DI that's a problem. So while it's ~15% more power than the BMW N54 (i6)stock for stock, I'm still inclined to go with the N54 because they have a decarb process.

>>15260325
third point is applicable to any air breathing engine
also an inline 6 is smoother for luxury vehicles.

>>15260301
No, it wouldn't. Especially not around a track.

>inline 6 is smoother for luxury vehicles
Maybe 20 years ago. Sure, I6s are inherently balanced, but that doesn't mean that V6/V8s can't be smoothed out with clever engineering. At this point, V6s and V8s in luxury vehicles are smooth enough that they're comparable to I6s in luxury vehicles.

>>15260333
The i6 is also dying out, unfortunately. Who aside from BMW still uses them?

>>15260362
Mercedes and Jag have them in the pipeline

>>15260343
Toyota has been making super smooth V8s since the late 80s, with the UZ engines.

>>15260273
>still eats gas
>NA still makes less power than V8

>>15260475
Rolls Royce have been doing it since the 50s

>>15260475
even so, the JZ engines still existed for a reason. Inline engines allow for lots of space for FI piping.

>>15260491
Cadillac have been doing it since 1914

Impossible.
You'd have to use forced induction on the v6 to make comparable power, which adds complexity and reduces reliability and response.
Equally impossible is making a v6 sound as good as a v8.

>>15260343
V8's are typically smoothed out by having fuck huge motormounts so you won't notice the vibration.

My M62tub will move quite a bit in relation to the car but you won't feel it because the motormounts are so well built.

>>15260748
that's comparing more than just an engine type. maybe take a fully built V6 and get the cost of that, then see what can be done to a V8 for that money. then compare outputs

Wake up.

This is the most retarded argument in history.

It is literally that retarded.

>>15260880
It isn't, especially in the GT's case. If it had a V8 they would have to completely redesign it to fit. Thus adding more weight and making it slower around a track.

To be fair, my '87 GN made more torque than my 2010 SRT-8 and the only mod it has was an adjustable wastegate running +4 lbs of boost.

Are you retarded?
Are you implying they didn't develop the 3.5l ecoboost specifically for the GT and at the same time?
Are you implying they couldn't design a new V8?

More horsepower doesn't mean faster lap times. The 918 proves that when pitted against the P1. Stay delusional, moron. Ford chose lightweighting and handling over muh horsepower.
