AutoExec Summary

The Ineos Grenadier, a Land Rover Defender look-alike, now features General Motors V8 power for the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Built by Ineos’ partner Magna, this concept includes a 6.2-litre GM V8 engine, replacing the standard BMW inline six-cylinder engines. Unveiled alongside other Grenadier concepts, including a short-tray ute and a safari-ready eight-seater, these prototypes suggest future variants. The V8 model required extensive re-engineering.
