Hi, just received mailing from Rovernet. The new Rover 75 V8 / MG version is finally ready for production. In the text, a V8, 4.6 litre is mentioned. What engine is this? From the specs i would say the V8, like in the previous Range Rover, the old Buick V8 (3.5, 3.0, 4.0, 4.2, 4.6) Or is it a completely different engine? (Ford?)

Ford 4.6 V8 engine. As used in the Mustang.
375bhp comes out later on. With a more extreme body. The 'standard' V8 looks pretty much like a regular Zt/Zt-t....
It's a Ford engine as far as I know. Autocar have had a few snippets about it over the last year or so. It will come in various staes of tune from basic rover-ey grunt to manic supercharged excess in the MGSV supercar. I can't remember who is doing the tuning for it but they're an well known American tuning outfit.

Shame on them! They should drag the old Rover V8 into the 21st Century and fit that. How about with quad-cam 32 valve heads and 4 wheel drive, now that would be awesome! Seriously though, it has been almost 2 years since I left Rover and they had been talking of a RWD Ford V8 ZT for months back then, we even had a few concept pictures sent to us. Is it really going to happen at last?
