Not even a hint that a smaller displacement V8 is under consideration, even if that's only to maintain V8 availability for a few more years?
I've found that a high-revving NA engine can be more than a match for a turbo-4 of similar displacement (with ~60% more torque and peak HP once the boost is all-in) when the revs are below the point where boost is being made (typically something like 2000 rpm). At least when a manual transmission is fitted. This would go to daily drivability; displacement and revs would address the performance side.
