In the comments section they're saying April fools.
If it is true then whats the problem, means lower R&D costs and a bigger profit margin...something any car manufacturer needs at the minute.

Yeah I actually thought it was real when I read and posted the link, it's not April 1st on my clock yet, but I realized in most places it is.... so I think it's a joke. Would make sense though.

and i quote
"here’s also another advantage: Cost. The 4.5-liter V-8’s breakthrough design eliminated the intake and exhaust manifolds and other related components, saving weight, reducing size and lowering costs by up to an estimated $600 per engine versus a conventional diesel." rofl |
