Default IBM Porsche Engine?

Is it just me or does the IBM "Cloud Engine" look like an Air Cooled Porsche engine?

It looks like the heads are in a "V" configuration, maybe turbos to the side. Having just changed my drive belt last night I can say this configuration is markedly different, where the P-car goes over the alternator, under [something! Damn it's only been a few hours..], over the A/C compressor, under the crankshaft pulley, over the tensioner, under the water pump, and back up to the alternator. This one look like it has 2 separate belts, a la a 964.
