All their suff on the Bagheera is simply ridiculous...plus it sounds like 
the Jungle Book!
They had a "especial" 2.6l engine that produced quote: "215Nm of torque @ 
4000RPM, 215 Nm is a lot of torque!" Now what if they saw the 20vt's  torque 
figure of 309Nm @ 1950 RPM? Wouldn't that be "a whole godd*m bunch of 
torque"? Especially from a 5 cylinder instead of an 8 banger??? Go figure 
the fuel consumption of that 8-banger with 168 HP! :)
For me, the only valuable and nice engine for everyday driving and having 
fun is the 5 banger, believe it or not, I'd rather have a 3B in my car than 
a W12 or a simple V12 and this is even in case the choice won't be a matter 
of money!

Just my 0.02 €uro! :)
