You are right as they did a refresh in 2021, giving the vehicle new tech, interior, and the new gear box from the project 8 cars.

Welsh built engine if I recall correctly.
Yes, this engine is a classic. It has many traits that reminds me of AMG engines.

What is it called?
British Racing Green (matte). I would have prefer a brighter shade of green but must admit that it look stunning in full sun lights. It was an $8k option from factory.

You are so right about the sound and how it sold the car for me. Up shifts on this car are addictively fun.
