It sounds like a V8 for sure. But I wonder why they went with the reverse hood vent; and I missed the domed hood. It will still be hot I am sure.
I want to know if they will release another IS-F to fight the M3.

Yup, it wouldn't surprise me honestly it's already a proven, reliable engine and there is no doubt the can squeeze a little more power out of it. I think they can easily get to 450bhp which is enough to stay with the upcoming M3

I cannot be on your side anymore!! The feel, sound, and performance of a N/A V8 is just so gratifying.
That's what I always worry about these days. I did watch the video. But with so many cars pushing an artificial exhaust sound it's hard to tell. I have notice that many manufacturers have tuned the exhaust note to produce almost any sound. Some are so growly, i.e. many Infiniti's, but don't have much under the hood.
Hard to tell if it's a V8. Could be a tuned exhaust note.
Agreed. And I haven't even driven one yet!! Pretty funny I'm saying that, but I just love V8 engines. If I do hop into one, the next gen does have a V8, and they get great results, I will definitely be in to have the 2nd gen V8 ISF.

and i have a sneaking suspicion that the hood vent is just for testing. they'll probably give it the LF-A double vent. the LF-CC concept also had double vents.
