I have a 61-reg GL with this engine pushing out 265bhp. I've never really understood why the G stuck with the older version of this engine, unless they didn't want to put the uprated 7G-Tronic gearbox in the G which could handle the increased torque. Apart from protecting the 5-speed box, I can't see any other reason why they'd want to keep the older engine.

I wonder if it was due to the bulk of sales of the base model being to militaries and aid groups?
