Dome Zero P2 (1979)
Although turbocharged Nissan and Toyota straight-six engines were under consideration for production, the Zero P2 prototype used the same Nissan L28 motor found in its predecessor.
The L28 was a two-valve water-cooled straight six with a single-overhead camshaft, cast-iron block and aluminium head. It displaced 2753cc thanks to a bore and stroke of 86mm and 79mm respectively.
Compression was 8.3:1 and three Solex twin choke C40 carburettors were fitted.
Peak output was 145bhp at 5200rpm and 166lb-ft at 3600rpm.
The gearbox was 5DS-25/2 five-speed manual supplied by ZF in Germany.
