First, I've been trying to figure out what engine is in this car, and I think I've straightened it all out. See, most of the information online points to it being fitted with a 4.6-litre Ford V8 from that era of Mustang  Cobra — a company rep even mentions it on camera in the Men & Motors clip below.

Except for one source. In the Google results, John Lamm's book Supercars has a throwaway line in his article on the Acura NSX-T, saying that the Aerosa was at one time powered by the Yamaha V8 from the Ford Taurus SHO. Eight cylinders, OK.
