Thumbs down on the wing. Engine type will be key on this one.

Interesting how it is a modified taco wing with some hints on the current gt3 duck tail lower part. Neat how it has the cup style exit on the exhaust althought it would look better without the other oem openings also!

I like it already and I'm sure that the end product will look much better than these pictures portray.

Very sadly, the POS M96, and not the M64 with dry sump.

Is the M97 confirmed or merely speculation? Anyone know the reasoning behind the change?

The M64 costs tens of thousands more than the M96/M97.

It's inline with Wide King's thinking of "why give them an expensive engine when a cheap one will do?"
