Mopar® V-10 Competition Off-Road Race Engine Wins in Debut at Baja 1000 in Class 8

A short time after unveiling the 800 horsepower v-10 motor for drag racing at SEMA in Las Vegas, the off road version made its debut at the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. The drivers, Kent Kroeker and Alan Roach found themselves victorious in the Class 8 division.

“Winning the Baja 1000 means laser-focused excellence that can’t be demonstrated any other way,” said Kroeker. “The performance of the new Mopar V-10 was superb. We were the only vehicle in the Baja 1000 using Mopar power. Mopar engineers sculpted its characteristics around my description of what is needed to win in long-distance desert racing.”

SoCal Says: An 800 horsepower engine? Need we say more? We look forward to hearing and seeing much more regarding this motor.
