Technical information
The breakdown of the engine name[9] is as follows:

C - Exhaust Emissions Level: ECE R 83 A
20 - Displacement: 2 litre
X - Compression Ratio Threshold: X = 10.0-11.5:1
E - Mixture System: Electronic Fuel Injection
The engine produces 150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS) at 6,000 rpm, with a low optimum specific fuel consumption of 232 g/kWh which is equivalent to a maximum efficiency of 37 per cent; a better efficiency than some of the diesel engines that were available at the time of its release. The valves are set at 46 degrees and are accompanied by pistons with shallow valve pockets - thereby eliminating the need for a shorter con rod hence, allowing a suitable compression ratio to be achieved. Long spark plugs are used and positioned concentric to the cylinder. Incidentally, the engine has a square bore/stroke and shares piston dimensions with the Bugatti Veyron (86mm x 86mm).
