The engine is a 4 overhead cam, common rail high pressure direct injected, all aluminum, twin water cooled turbocharged, California EPA compliant, 91 octane, 1350 HP , clean sheet of paper, Mercury marine developed and full manufactured by Merc gasoline engine that is based on nothing existing. This is a huge step totally state of the art marine racing engine! The only question now is what will it cost, engine and drive?? I am sure it will be a high cost package, the only real question is how high??

I have to say that I have never really been impressed with Merc engines in the past. They have never really been anything special, as far as hp and such. They looked OK and they ran good, but nothing out of the ordinary. However, that is a very impressive piece right there. My hats off to them.
