The car was previously powered by a turbocharged 4.4 L BMW M62B44 V8. However Drift Masters stated the engine suffered reliability issues. Marco then swapped to a turbocharged 2.0 L VW (EA888) inline-four built by VAG motor specialist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rtmg_performance\/\">RTMG Performance<\/a> in Athens, Greece. The built motor is capable of 750-800+ hp (551-588+ kW). Marco paired the motor with a DMA Racing Gears sequential transmission. Watch Marco compete at Vallelunga Circuit in Italy for the first round of 2026 Drift Masters season. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
