Looks identical to the Benz 3.0 down to the intercoolers. So who is the design team of this engine?

My bad... I musta been looking at 4 banger cut outs n assumed it was the v6 I guess. I keep up with a **** load of cars, if you don't notice who has the most threads up here with the most models covered. My contribution to sports car news is huge... So pardon me for making a mistake.
