but why havent we seen one yet? it would obselete almost every other performance motor in my opinion it could sell

There all out of emission credits,we will probably never see it

There were rumours on here a few years ago but cant see where it would fit in unless it went 4ltr and 350hp+ or so. Be using the same piston size as the small block v6 the it would be around 3.6.
If they were to do performance items i would like to see better mounts and an offshore exhaust for racing long the lines of the 200xs etc.

There aren't any emission credits for any manufacturer.

Yes, at least the truth is out there now you 'son of a gun'. Kudo's to the sources.

Your new baby is a beautiful thing. Any video's with sound out there either on line or in house.

People need to see & hear this 'work of art' mate.

How is Bretts project going. I feel deprived & need a hit of performance advancements to keep me going.

A 650lb 400hp V8 Evinrude at 4.5 liters would take the industry by storm. I dont know why they have been dragging their feet. Look at how many v8 Yamaha and 350hp verados are being sold. Evinrude could be back in a flash. I dont understand, the market is there and begging for it.

They have there reasons. Taking their time to get it RIGHT. There are big things on the way from BRP. Revolutionary if what I read are accurate. They are a big entity & astute in their thinking. They will get there if some sanity prevails in world events which frankly I doubt, without DIVINE intervention.
It may be a strange post but if you are in the loop you will know what I mean.

**Scmarineperformance** · 09-10-2012, 05:22 PM

so how much longer until the v8 can be purchased?

**LIQUID NIRVANA** · 09-10-2012, 07:05 PM

Who knows? All manufacturers run a tight ship. All I know is what I heard from 'reliable' sources, but situations can change quickly. It has been in the pipeline for a long time. Not before 2015 I would suggest if everything doesn't crash globally before hand.
