2.0 V6 in Autograss car doing 10,500rpm

Dyno Run

Giving it some beans

I suspect that some investment will have been made here.

It was also a 2.8 and a 2.5 in various versions.
The older it got, the smaller the powers that be had them make the engine to allow it to continue to run.

Not a Mazda either I don't think.

We need an autograss guru here.

I don't think it's a V64V (6R4) motor. The camboxes don't look anything like that. It's difficult to see much more on those two vids. Also, as stated the motor was a 3 litre although later downsized to 2.8 and 2.5 and I'd imagine that going down to 2 litre would be pretty difficult and probably not very effective.

According to Wikadedia it was available as a 2 litre - although what it was fitted to isn't mentioned - maybe Freelander ?

IIRC it was made as a 2.0L so it could be homologated for BTCC

loads of 2.0V6 rover 75's about here in NL. In standard tune it was an nasty astmathic engine, at least in the 75 where it was underpowered.

This one's a bit different though
