Engine Specifications
The Rover 75 (and MG ZT derivative) were powered by a combination of Rover's own K-Series and KV6 engines as well as Ford's Modular V8 and BMW's M47 diesel engine. The latter was designated M47R to identify the unit as a Rover special, having been tweaked by Rover's engineers for transverse installation, with performance and refinement characteristics unique to Rover.

Famous quotes containing the word engine:
“The machine unmakes the man. Now that the machine is perfect, the engineer is nobody. Every new step in improving the engine restricts one more act of the engineer,—unteaches him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
