here are some cool pics... turbo versions aren't announced as yet, the n/a should be making 190kw, around 250hp for starters.

That's gotta be the base engine for the 5th gen.

Wow, did I just see 4 valves per cylinder?!

250 hp V6 for starters? Meaning a TT version over 300?

Badass!

isn't this V6 the same as the new 3.6l in the CTS? i wouldn't be waiting for GM to put it into a 5th gen. The more likely candidate would be the upcoming 3.9L OHV with DoD and 240hp. If they ever design 3 valve heads for it by the time the 5th gen is ready maybe they'll put that varient in there instead.
