Van's "very special airplane"?

I’m counting on an updated , matched hole RV-4 with a Rotax 160hp Turbo. Light, fast up high, and easy to build!
 
I wonder how much it will differ from the 2026 upgrades they were showing off last year.

Same here! Maybe they increase gross weight, add a CS prop, increase VNE, or it is simply new operating limitations to remove the flight in IMC restriction?

…. And maybe just maybe the rv-12X will be launched: 1,450 lbs MTOW
New Rotax 914 is ( naturally aspirated ) 120-130 hp ( VAN US Launch customer ) with CS prop ( e prop )
