2L TDIO, All aluminum block/head, boosted, intercooled, 258 pound-feet
of torque @ 1,800 rpm. Probably a terrible engine for a car. But for
an airplane....
Haven't found the weight yet.
Not the first I hear about it. As I understand it is a modification of
their petrol boxers so the weight should be comparable.
I thought GM had killed the "gas engine converted to a diesel" market.
The typical 10,000 mile (or so) TBO didn't go over well with the public.
