Sodemo LMP2 BMW V8 Engine (S65 based)

Anyone know more about this old project?

I just stumbled onto this while looking for some other info via google. It was a prototype apparently, but I have never heard of it until now, so I don't suppose anything more became of it?

(Only M3post reference I found was here: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=104653 but there are no replies)

Apparently it was to be fitted to a Pescarolo LMP2 car but I can't find anything more.

Interesting, they reckon they can squeeze out up to 540HP with racing cams (presumably on race gas)...

Yep, but they'd be messing with the internals as well, so most likely higher compression than stock with race fuel.
