The lower compression ratio of S58 should reduce or negate the need for the water injection system which was there to allow for aggressive ignition timing in conjunction with increased boost and compatibility with 91 octane gas.

And I suspect 540 hp is bs and the engine will effectively generate a lot more power than what is expected from the rated output.

I was also hoping for proper passive coilovers like on the GTS models but the video talks about setting up software for the damping so I guess that means EDC is staying. Good news for other G8x owners who want to code it in.
