Just read this. Curious about the source of this info.

What we know so far is:-
  • V8 IS based on a production Ferrari V8 which being tested already. I think thats good marketing value in return for Ferrari as they an use this fact to promote their production V8 cars.
  • Don't know about chassis but I don't think it's Dallara as they have their plates full. Hope it's still Lola though
  • Tyres rumoured to be Michelin. Another well established brand. Good
However Valker's hp target estimate is close to accurate.
