A 1000cc X-8 with 280 horsepower, and reportedly two-stroke on top of it — honestly, I let out a weird noise looking at the spec sheet. A layout like X8 shouldn't even work in the first place. And the idea of stuffing that into a retro roadster is just gloriously unhinged. Cooling and lubrication alone must be a nightmare of problems. Whether it actually happens or not, my heart rate hasn't come down since I read it.
