Kjeld not sure what you're referring to, Russian and American sportscar? There's a myth that the first engine was based on a Corvette LSx something engine. It wasn't. And Troels told us he's still kicking himself for making his engine 7.0 liters, because that's what the Corvette had, and that's part of why people think it's GM based. Whether he cut up anything for inspiration, I'm sure all car manufacturers are inspired.
He changed his engine to 6.8 liter in a hope to kill the myth, apparently not. BTW, back then it was cross plane crank, now it's a flat plane crank.
