The engine is consists of a 2.5L straight-five Audi diesel block with a polished and ported Audi S2 20V head. The internals have all been upgraded to handle a large Precision PT67/68 turbocharger.

Because the engine took up so much space the section of the car behind the driver is filled with fuel and cooling systems. The air vents on the side are functional and feed air into the radiator in the back.
