Ineos is exploring the possibility of a V8-powered Grenadier following the enthusiastic response to its 6.2-liter LS concept showcased at Goodwood. Justin Hocevar, head of Ineos Australia, pointed out that interest in the model isn't just coming from customers but also from dealers, particularly in markets where V8 engines are traditionally popular—including the United States. The concept delivers 425 horsepower and 461 Nm of torque, which is 140 horsepower more than the standard BMW B58 gasoline engine found in the production Grenadier.

However, putting a V8 into series production presents significant engineering hurdles. Fitting the large GM LS engine would require modifications to the engine bay, cooling components, exhaust system, and drivetrain. This increases production costs and complicates certification at Ineos's European plants.

The company emphasizes that the potential of the BMW B57 and B58 engines is not yet fully tapped. In BMW and Toyota lineups, these engines operate in higher-output configurations, and proven aftermarket tuning solutions are already available. Ineos believes that further developing its current powertrains is the most practical path forward.

In the U.S., the Grenadier with the B58 starts at $71,000, while the B57 diesel remains available in other regions. The brand also offers a Black Edition for $82,995.
