The coolest part (IMO) is that with the removal of the exhaust manifolds, the direct-mounting of the turbos to the engine block (essentially taking the place of the manifolds), and the short path (therefore less tubing) to the throttle...I'm not sure this thing will weigh a whole ton more than a standard V6.
I was very interested in this concept from the first rumor years ago.....but if you had told me I'd be drooling over a V6, I'd have told you you were insane.

Hell...if you'd have said that the TTV6 would have 420/430 tq...I'd have called you nuts...I thought 400 would be a stretch And.....I think those are estimates, right? Could be as awesome as 430/440?
