| ![]() Fighting over engines? What difference will it make now? In a simple way, Thar has a engine having nice spces w.r.t BHP & Torque. So that will be enough. Any how Mahindra has already decided not to use SFA in front. So this argument will lead to nowhere.. Lets just ask about what can we do with existing Thar. If you have seen IFS Striker in person, you will see that it has more GC than Thar & even though it uses Sandgrips on IFS it has nice clearence with front fenders, that does not look possible with Thar though. Just see below pic. So is M&M going to give us some options for increasing the lift? |

| ![]() @ Spike. Does M&M have ANY engine officially derived from the XD's. I was under the impression that M&M license from Peugot covered manufacturing only, and to Peugot's exact design. No modifications allowed. No such problems with the B275. Correct me if I'm wrong. Regards Sutripta |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Spike, Are these so called NEF engines and technology are developed in house by M&M or is it sourced from a vendor(Engine manufacturer like FIAT, FORD etc)? I mean the basic engine block. |

![]() Now, you know very well the effects of an independent suspension versus a leaf spring suspension and when we talk road & track performance, obviously one has the advantage over the other. So lets leave it there! Quote:

I'm sure M&M have developed the engine with the help of an engine specialist with restrictions on what level one can tinker the parameters without affecting copyright violations. AVL of Austria is one such Engine Tech Partner ![]() | |||

Would love to see the two blocks side by side! But till such times, could we have the experts comments on the two. And some facts/ figures like dist. between bore centres, deck height etc. And also weights. (I believe one of the most important figures in the specs set out by M&M to AVL was weight, or rather its reduction.) Regards Sutripta |
