ENGINE FOR SANTANA

Power, and plenty of it comes from Iveco’s four cylinder 125bhp PS10 engine 2.8 litre intercooled turbocharged diesel motor being controlled by a throttle potentiometer making the Santana semi fly by wire. A maximum torque of 203lb ft at 1800rpm makes on road off road and motorway work no problem to the new kid on the four wheel drive block.
A higher output engine may also be on the card as the Santana goes production. The engine is mated via a twin plate clutch to an LT 85 gearbox perhaps the only major part shared with Santana built Land Rovers with optional two and four wheel drive. power assisted steering with v turning circle of 6.5m is fitted, while disc brakes all round enable the Santana to be pulled to a swift stop.
