The engines were introduced first in Germany (obviously) in 2000.

"A V8 engined version was to be introduced in 2001 -  the V8.com but was cancelled weeks before the official introduction. The reason was concerns about whether the engine was vollgasfest (German, "Full throttle resistant") - the engine might overheat and be damaged if driven flat out on the Autobahn for long periods of time. The power plant used was a 5.7 L alloy GM LS engine. "
