How so? It will still have an inline six, it will simply be available with an inline four as well.

also A70TTR (insider who has worked on the project) did says some of the prototypes were fitted with the B48, but that was just for testing purpose and has been dropped for production.
And have any test cars been captured on video with this naturally aspirated I6 exhaust sound?

I'm not sure, but Peter Lyon has been pretty creditable in the past.
Even so, the NA I6 does not make much sense. A new engine, especially in the cheaper model, doesn't stand to reason when the whole point of the collaboration was to share costs.
