The engine is a self modified turbo engine dating from the turbo F1 era, with an estimated output near 1000bhp. Engine location is unusual has been far as back in the engine compartment as possible for weight distribution. To transmit that huge output to the road Mike himself designed some of the intricate 4WD system, a lot of it based on modern rally technology. The engine position also helps with mounting the front differential and suspension. The in house suspension design is a development of previous designs, modified to fit the unusual layout, and place the Ohlins dampers and rockers to get the right ratios.
