the instrument panel is a bit nasty!! Are the headlamps different? Looks like HID's which, to my knowledge, were never an option on the Mk1 or Mk2....

Believe because the engine was not put into production as such. It would not have had to meet the required regs for emissions so prob not recorded.

The G-series was just a heavily re-worked L-series so yeah would be 8V. Wonder if it's quieter as thats the only thing that let the L-series down in the modern diesel market.

According to Rincewind the G series was quieter than both the L Series used in the ZR, ZS and the M47R used in the ZT and delivered better economy than both those engines. There is a whole article about it on aronline under powertrain.

see this thread - the protoype was using the 8v head, but the plan was for the 16v to be put in place.

looked tidy, common rail injection and vnt turbo, is a real pity as power figures would have been a few years (yet again) above the competition!
