What boggles the mind is the american term "7.0-liter Chevy small-block V8" small? SMALL?

That looks like Stig's fat American cousin!
I wonder if he is the one they are going to use on the American version.

It's quite a bit smaller (length, width, height) and lighter (458 lbs vs 529 lbs, both fully dressed) than the BMW V10.

It has nothing to do with displacement, merely the dimensions of the block itself.
