It doesn't need to follow the same procedure this time. As you say the V8 started as a pure race engine. Maybe this time it's the other way and it all starts with the N54.

I know it's not opportune, but I personally would like to see an S65 derived V6 engine + DI + FI + a redline of about 8k. That would be an engine...damn, I'm dreaming...
