New engine from Nissan for Le Mans, 1.5 litre 3 cylinder turbo.
Looks like it'd fit quite nicely and leave anything Busa powered in the dust.
I reckon it will be 40 k without the mahosive turbo there must be a few k in that alone !!!

Doubt the new engine will be similar in price to a new Zetec.
Can't really tell from the photo but that looks like an interesting construction.
From the shape of the castings it looks like the pistons run in the head and the head is bolted on from underneath probably with the main cap bolts.
Strikingly similar to the Offenhauser engine! Same construction. The Offy produced 770BHP from 2.65L in 1970!
It's a Triumph bike engine with all the fat trimmed off

Depends on if 'k' means "£1000" or "1000 grams"
that would make one hell of a gokart!!!

I'm thinking 800bhp V6 that weighs 80Kg
