They couldn't showcase their technical prowess by using a special version of the 5.0 with a nice flat plane crank, high RPM and nice turbos to compete with Mclaren, Ferrari, etc? While I'm sure the 3.5TT ecoboost is derived more from their racing efforts and less the more common version, a V8 would have been better. But hey, what do I know. I can't afford it and I'm sure they will sell every single one built.
