Shunning the need for massive power and bolt on breathing aids, she sports a 4.5L crossplane V8, complete with ITB's, 5 valve cylinder heads and a rorty cam.
With the basis being an engine should be a joy to use rather than just a form of propulsion, the focus has been on making it responsive, light, and sing like a musical instrument, she has been graced with a responsiveness rating of over 85, a weight just under 175kg, and an rpm limit of 9500 to make her scream through the tubular manifolds.
Also incidentally has 714bhp and 473lbft of torque, so it should be ample for bragging heroics down at the local pub.
An optional 'track pack' removes the cat converter and straight through silencer, and adds a wilder camshaft combined with a thinner headgasket, to bring the weight down by 12kg, make the engine even more responsive, and take the power and torque to 751bhp and 474lbft respectively.
