Wouldn’t the fuel economy of a 6.7 turbo gas engine make almost unaffordable?
I would think it would have to be turbocharged to achieve power levels comparable to current naturally aspirated gas engines used in pickups. Otherwise it will have to be able to run at 5500 rpm or more. Maybe a Cummins B can do that but I doubt it. JMO, but I think it will be direct-injected and have smallish twin turbos. It will rev higher and have less torque than the diesel version, but have the same HP at lower RPM (more torque) compared with current normally aspirated gas V8s. There's no reason it should burn more gas than today's gas engines unless they crank up the boost to try and get 600 hp out of it.
