Squeezing the turbos within the engine block as opposed to on the side also allows for a more favorable packaging within the engine bay. Mercedes has been using this layout in their current generation of AMG cars in various tunes for a number of years now.

Enough with Kirk's clickbait fake news. That's not a patent for a twin turbo V8, but a cooling process applicable across Toyota's engine lineup.

Everything he does is fanboy conjecture. This guy has no sources,attends no events, and barely gets cars in for reviews 1-2 years later than everyone else. He is purely on the C-tier of auto-reviewers trying to add more subs with stupid videos all the time. He worked at a Lexus dealer for only about a year until the pandemic started. He has a spreadsheet to make it seem like he has credibility and research but even that is just based on the obvious or his fantasies.
I honestly wish people like Carmaker1 had larger platforms so they could shut down this rubbish before every car journalist outlet hops on it.

Not long ago, we had a thread on the issue of Toyota/Lexus cancelling all further V8 engine development.
