I think its a horrible application for the type of vehicle it is,
GM L8T or Ford 7.3L would have been ideal - these things are engines that will run on **** high sulfur fuel like 91 all day every day under high load, plus you know you'd have circa 80KW more under the bonnet.
I reckon Cummins B6.7 Euro VI for the diesel variant.
Also the LC70 crowd loves 8 cylinders, given we'd be a key market for this vehicle I'm not sure why they didn't give it more consideration.
Maybe they got a good deal out of BMW. |
Mate Those are truck engines, the Cummins weighs over 500kg dry.
that changes they whole dynamics
You know our Police cars have the same engines, I cant even find any examples of engine failures on these things.
