will be interesting to see what gm comes up with, if its a variation of this or their own deal, I'll bet it will have direct injection though.

Being as how the LT5 from the 90's was GM/Lotus designed, and built by Mercury, I'd have to believe that the link you've posted shows at least a form of what's to come. GM announced that there would never be another 427 in a Vette, due to federally mandated fuel mileage requirements, so this will end up being a 6.2 liter engine. I'd definitely say it's gonna have DI.

All I know is if GM does release a mid-engine Vette, I'm robbing a bank.

This engine/transaxle in a Cayman would be pretty amazing!
