By the time it's dropped we get "other engines" to sit above the 2.0L Ecoblue.

A lot of conjecture here but I'm thinking V6 diesel and V6 Ecoboost,
Ford will go so far with performance and then let the aftermarket take over.

Edit: In fact in the UK Edge ST-line a version of this 2.0L has 177kW/500Nm..maybe that should have been the Raptors engine until it can fit a V6. Edge St-Line's 0-100 is 1.6 secs faster in AWD form over the fwd 100Kg lighter Edge regular 2.0L diesel.

Two possibilities with that tune,
A. Developed to use higher centane diesel available in Europe
B. RR has a "safe tune" that covers a wider variance in diesel quality.
Aftermarket now has a better tune for the 2.0L diesel.
