From EVO Magazine, issue 28, page 108, Feb '01 BTCC Mondeo compared to ST200 Mondeo Lift the bonnets and the contrast is equally stark. For starters, the racing car uses a Mazda V6 rather than the ST200's Duratec Motor, thanks to rules which allow a manudacture to use any of it's four or six cylinder engines (remember the Probe and Mazda MX-6 ?) so long as they are sleeved down to no more than 2.0 lites. What's really hard to comprehend is how low and far back the the unit sits in the Super Tourer's engine bay. You could almost class it as front-mid-engined, as the powerplant is well behinf the front axle line.
Despiter being restricted to 2.0 litres and limited to 8500rpm, the race engine develops 315bhp, compared with 202bhp at 6500rpm from the ST200's 2.5-litre engine. At 975kg, the racer is a whopping 435kg lighter than the road car, endowing it with a supercar-like 328bhp per ton, well over twice the power-to-weight of the hefty road car. Any spelling mistake are the fault of myself and Harpoom Brewery's fine IPA. Goodnight...

No matter how they worked the heads, they just couldn't get it to breath right at that displacement. I read the engineering study, which was posted here, but I don't have it handy.
