In their biggest target market - the GCC countries - people buy the V8 Batrol as a family car. It's what the lady of the house might drive herself around in, if she wants to appear inconspicuous. The previous Y61 Batrol which is still sold there, is sold on the strength of its inline 6 TB48. It's an absolute monster of an engine, giving about 250 hp in stock form, but will easily go over 1000 hp with the right mods. Think of it as a Supra engine with small block Chevy displacement. |
