The last few months of BF2 sales were all the 302kw motor from the anniversary Cobra. I think FPV shifted to production of just the one variant for themselves, perhaps they didnt have the capacity to do 3 variants including the XR8.

Alot of rumours were suggesting 325kw from the V8 which makes the eventual figure 315kw seem a bit small, but for a similarly weighted car it should be enough to keep it faster than the old model.

I'm personally glad theyve finally aligned the 6 and 8 cylinders within earshot of each other. From BF onwards there was reportedly nothing between them in 3rd party analysis and FPV simply marketed them differently. Even the pricing structures now are identical like what Ford have done with the XR6T/XR8.
