I might be reading into this too much, but it looks like they have restricted airflow to an absurd degree with the camo. They're clearly pushing the m5 around the 'ring, and the air intakes are essentially covered. I can't imagine that a TT V10 would perform well choked off like that. Any chance that means it's not a turbo?
