Old news.

GM leaked or someone "stole" the engine code data for MY18 and put it on the Internet several months ago.

An LT5 is listed for MY18 but it's atmospheric not supercharged. My wild-assed buess is that the "new" LT5 will be part of a gasoline/electric hybrid powertrain which might be an option on the mid-engine car. More of my WAG'ing is that this LT5 will power the rear wheels and electric motors will power the front wheels.

Any bets?

5 Cylinder Twin Turbo to meet CAFE: LT-5

Some of the V8s from other manufacturers are going bye-bye....I am kidding of course but while shopping for a replacement benz for the wife, most of the old V8TTs are now V6TTs....but still weigh 4.5K
