K Series Powered Freelander
Published: 4th August 2003
This year's seven PBRC events will see the UK's most popular 4x4 tackle terrains ranging from the rigours of the Scottish Highlands to the world famous high-speed Manx International Rally on the Isle of Man.
Commenting on the performance of the K Series engine, Fraser Winton, managing director of Powertrain Ltd said: "From saloon cars and sports cars to off road rally support vehicles and life saving hovercraft, the K Series engine is the natural choice of some world famous customers. Weight, cost, performance and reliability make it a formidable powerplant."
The rally prepared Freelander has a K Series V6 engine produced by Powertrain Ltd. The KV6 is an all-alloy 24-valve 6-cylinder quad cam unit, of 2.5 litre capacity, developed from the award-winning K Series 4-cylinder engine.
Gillanders isn't the only part of the team with real rally pedigree
– the Freelander served as Colin McRae's reconnaissance car
for the Safari Rally during the 2001 World Rally Championship, demonstrating
the durability of the K Series engine in extreme environments.
