They where particularly impressed with the turbocharged v-12. They stated that it will recieve a 7 speed transmission to go along with it's 612 hp (which i believe is only a 7 hp upgrade over the 2006).
I am fairly certain that it will come with the 5-speed as the torque fo the 65 would jsut tear the 7-speed up.

whoa. 612 Horsepower. The old one had 604 hp. Imagine what you can do with that extra 8 hp.[:)]
That's not true. The old one also had 612 hp but US rating of horsepower is somehow different. You always rate these engines a few hp lower than Europe[;)]
oh ok. wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.
