If the IS500 rumors are true it's the same 5L v8 from before. When it was compared to the E90 m3's V8 it wasn't as fast. How would it compare to the engines of today?

In 2008


If they use the same engine with some tweaks there's no way it can beat the M3 of today. BUT judging on the naming scheme, it can also be some sort of twin-turbo 6. If that's true I'm thinking its aim to compare the M340i and C43AMG rather than M3/C63.
I thought the later revisions of the IS-F finally outdid the E90 M3?

Either ways, this is a regular IS it feels, there's no F moniker.
