| Building on their successful partnership with Mazda, AER (Advanced Engine Research) has built an all-new version of the MZR-R race-winning engine for 2010 that represents the state of the art in turbocharged engine technology. The 2.0 liter, four-cylinder in-line turbocharged engine was designed from a clean sheet of paper, and is designed to make in excess of 500 HP - on a per cylinder basis, more than an F1 engine. It is all aluminum construction and is mounted as a semi-stressed member of the chassis with A-frames.
Combining very low mass with a small physical footprint, the engine is the smallest, lightest and most compact in LMP racing today and there are no external belt drives or ancillaries. The camshafts, water pump and oil pump are internally driven by gears.
The engine has barrel throttles for optimum engine response with the latest Life Racing electronics for optimum engine control and state of the art efficiency.
