GM/Ford to share Volt tech & power trains?

...These engines are not high revvers

Oh?
But not exactly chopped liver either.

V8 will not only achieve 500 horsepower but will be capable of running up to 7100 rpm...

There's a big difference between 4.500-5,000 and 7,000-8,000 rpm in a stock engine.
