Interesting infos on the SHO "brother" engine

[GEN 3 SHO FAN]

Searching for vehicule with a good capacity of transport (SUV, caravan, etc.), I came by the idea of finding a Volvo XC90 (SUV) with the also unique and rare 4.4L from Yamaha of 311 hp... Jezz, this vehicule is as rare as an GEN 3 SHO... (Can also be found on Volvo S80)

Anyway, I found this interesting link on the Yamaha 4.4L.

Some specs are similars :
60 degree V shaped
same timing chains arrangement (3 chains, 1 tall, 2 small for maximum compacness)
all aluminium
produce a particular good sound

I heard an LFA engine sing in person. Such a nice song it plays at redline.
Yamaha music tuned the exhaust, from the head design out.
There was one tuned to 10,100 rpm at a car show i was at
