I won't. That would be a stupid inefficient engine.
Even Alpina B10 4.6 V8 gets 20-21 mpg. Why would anyone wish for Detroit 70s-era inefficiency?!?

Give me new, more powerful, and more efficient I6's, V8's and EV motors.
I want one of each!

Yup, could have a ZR1 as a sports car, and a low 9 second EV sedan as a daily. The EV drivetrain advantage is made very clear in this video. The ZR1 makes more HP, weighs 1000lbs less, and still gets killed in trap speeds. A Taycan Turbo S, or Sapphure would be an even bigger beat down.
