    De eigenaar van een deze Granada is het nooit helemaal eens geweest met de originele motor onder de kap. Al snel kwam er daarom een Cosworth-blok met 600 pk onder te liggen, maar niets went zo snel als veel vermogen. Vraag maar aan onze Chef Bliklikker. Daarom ging hij nog een stap verder en werkt hij nu al een paar jaar aan een motor setup die bestaat uit het blok van Koenigsegg CCX, wat in de basis een 4.7-liter V8 is die door Ford is vervaardigd. Merktechnisch dus helemaal verantwoord

    If they had a hood on the car, then they would just be driving a Granada with a funky exhaust sound.

    They claim it is the ultimate sleeper.
    How can it be the ultimate sleeper when they have a shiny monstrous engine where the hood use to be, massive brakes and wheels/tires and a roll cage?

    Yeah, we should break out the TCL Sleeper Thread and debate this!

    They didn't. It's a Ford Modular engine, and since the Koenigsegg's old engines were also based on this platform, hence the "Granada with the Koenigsegg engine".
