Not turbod in the GrpB cars, homologation rules meant the engine was FAR to big to get passed the rules. MG/Rover decided a 3.5litre n/a car would be better than a 2.1 Turbo. They were wrong
The engine was then delevloped and turbod and became the XJ220 engine, which in turn found itself in 6R4s where the rules allowed.
And what ridiculous performance and power? 410bhp from 3.5litres is fuck all from a tuned n/a car...
