There have been so many engine rumors (starting with the 5L V8 from the prior generation M5) for the Esprit, that I can't keep up anymore. I personally believe that the 5.7L V8 from the Tundra (another recent rumor) seems logical (unless the weight/dimensions of the engine are not acceptable). Close to 400hp, available supercharger through TRD (pushing it to 500hp) and relatively inexpensive.
