The new power consists of a 2.2-liter four with variable nozzle turbocharging, and the 3-liter Mitsubishi V6 that was in the test car, a black ES model.

In a military combat engine the variable nozzle allows the exhaust to reach supersonic speed.
It forced air into the stainless steel combustion chamber where fuel was sprayed from seven nozzles and ignited to exhaust out the variable rear nozzle.
