The lifters are the old issue. The new issue is something going on with the bottom end. Either rod or main bearings that are going on all these 6.2s

Another perspective on why the push towards plug in hybrid.

Insane CO2 taxes added to cars in Europe.
The M5 is a plug in hybrid with a much larger battery. 18.6kw, vs the E ray with a 1.9kw battery. Nearly 10x the capacity.
These plug in hybrids are meant to be able to make the commute on EV power alone, or venture into EV only zero emission zones in European (and maybe future US) cities.
That's for the V6, its the V8s that are blowing. There is definitely some sort of new issue with the 6.2 beyond just the blackwing. Escalades are blowing 6.2s enough to be a concern too.
I wonder if GM will recall them like Toyota did with the 3.4TT motor
Just wait, LT4s in the Blackwing will occasionally explode with power... and engine bits.
The 37th circle of hell is reserved for break-in test drive redliners, just before left lane campers and just after truck nut afficionados.
Yeah that's something I've noticed and the magazines have touched on. If you are used to a German twin turbocharged ZF8 speed machine then the Blackwing won't feel as fast, even if it's actually faster. Wife has a X3M comp, which runs very similar times in ET and trap speed to your RS6...
