What about a 4-litre turbo car making near on 600Nm of torque at 2000rpm? It is actually the low down torque delivery and more accessible phwoar factor that makes the F6 such a fun/enjoyable drive. The V8 really needs lots of rpm in comparison to put some phwoar in your mouth, but even then really, the V8 doesn't have the bottom end rush that you can use all the time even just short shifting and staying somewhere remotely near speed limits, the V8 really starts winding up and getting impressive when you are in to go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200 territory. Just came from FG MK1 F6, to FG MK II GT-E.
