Yes. But I assume he meant 8.4l V10...
And the Audi does not race in GTE.
There is no limitation of the number of cylinders allowed, only a maximum displacement of 5500cc.

They did that because of the Corvette. I think they felt it was unfair with the size of the C6 GT1's engine and the amount of torque it made? I don't recall the exact reason. Another key detail about Dyson's efforts- Michelin tires this year! Remember they were running Dunlops which aren't quite on the level the Michelin tires are.

Really hoping for a few rainy races so we can see the Falken car in its element

It is all very wonderful and it is very exciting when it is a tight battle between three big manufacturers in GT's but it ain't breaking news sadly. We have known for ages is is a Ferrari v Porsche v Aston Martin 3-way battle.
AF Corse will represent Ferrari with Gianmarina Bruni and two others in one 458 Italia and Olivier Beretta headlining the other.
AG Team Manthey will run Porsche's for Marc Lieb, Richard Lietz and Timo Bernhard in one 911 RSR and in the other Jog Bergmeiser, Patrick Pilet and Romain Dumas.
Aston Martin Racing will race Darren Turner, Stefan Mucke and Peter Dumbreck on one Vantage and Frederic Makowiecki, Bruno Senna and Rob Bell in the other.

All three teams (and Corvette) have really solid driver line-ups. Should be great racing

Looks like Martin Plowman has found a spot on the factory Oak squad. Glad to see him with a drive. Easily my favorite driver from last year 👍

PDF for the BOP of ALMS GTE here- http://www.imsaracing.net/2013/alms/bulletins/IMSA%20COMPETITION%20BULLETIN%2013-02.pdf
Aston Martin at 1205kg, Porsche 1210kg. I expect this to change when Aston start showing they're pace. I don't feel they will be running 40kg less than the others, not with their brand new car and the supposed gains they've made. We'll see.

Uhh, Red and Gold are Rebellion's original colors before the 'Lotus' sponsorship! It comes from the Swiss flag

The red hasn't been on it the last two seasons though so again, the red seems to only have appeared because of the official Lotus colors on the F1 car.
Also FYI, I'm very aware of the Swiss flag as well as their original colors (which again were before Lotus jumped onto their cars).

Shocking News: David Brabham gets behind the wheel of a Honda prototype. Even more surprising is which one...

What? The Red has always been there. The Lotus sponsorship brought the 'off Gold' and Black to their cars. Not the Red, the Red was even before Rebellion Racing was known as 'Rebellion Racing' 👍
That picture I posted above? 2011.
2012-
2010-
2009 (known as Speedy Racing)-
Even as Speedy Racing in 2009 the Red was always a part of their car. Lotus didn't bring the Red. Red on Lotus' F1 car is mostly because of Total's sponsorship.
