Its a turbo-charged Isuzu (the one in the Amby/Conti is NA), which makes it similar to the engine on the Kazwa (another one-off MPV, made by a bidi manufacturer in Kerala)...which was pretty good.

I think the Rover talk was just for public consumption, so that nobody asks them how they can go on their own. I dont see how Rover can contribute to this project, except by jacking up the cost.
