Yes, and it is still a stupid idea on an M car. That engine also is not available here.
They said they were going to do 1.6 liter and 2.0 liter versions but they are still on the drawing board. Making it work for an 8000 RPM M motor is not feasable, cost effective, or smart. Just buy a Lancia instead.
