The Mazda MZ-2.0T engine is a turbocharged, four-stroke, 2.0-liter, I4 racing engine, designed in partnership with Advanced Engine Research (AER) and Mazda for use in the Mazda Prototype and Mazda RT24-P race cars, from 2016 to 2021.

Overview

The MZ-2.0T was developed by Mazda and Advanced Engine Research (AER) for the Mazda Prototype, after rule changes banned the previous Skyactiv-D diesel engine, and later used for the Mazda RT24-P.[1][2][3] The engine is a iteration of the MZR-R, which has been used in sports car racing and is currently in use in all Indy NXT cars.[4] The 2.0-liter, inline-4 engine features a single Garrett TR30R turbo outputting 570 horsepower (425 kilowatts; 578 metric horsepower) to 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts; 608 metric horsepower) with a redline of 8,500 to 9,000 rpm.[5]
