Apparently they also have a partnership with BMW for their engine. I am in the camp that BMW makes excellent engines, especially the inline 6 (which is why it ended up in the Toyota Supra...)
However they do have a lot of electronics/turbo/etc around, which may or may not fit well with the intended purpose of the projekt Grenadier.

"The Grenadier will be powered by BMW’s latest 3.0-litre straight six petrol and diesel engines"
In any case, it does look more and more serious.

Dude, I am actually an Engineer for an International aerospace company; my job is problem solving in experimental and operational flight test! According to my reviews and my paycheck; I'm pretty Fn good at it too!
Oh, so it's on purpose you choose to ignore reality and engineering. You must be very good at compartmentalising reality and your beliefs. I take note in that problem solving mind of yours weren't able to keep things straight in that long rant of yours.Dude, I am actually an Engineer for an International aerospace company; my job is problem solving in experimental and operational flight test! According to my reviews and my paycheck; I'm pretty Fn good at it too!
In short, if you applied the same thinking to your (claimed) job, you wouldn't have that job for long.
Reread this unhinged rant from you:

Honestly. I feel that there are people on this forum that would argue that the sky isn't blue just for the sake of arguing. Is it an internet thing or, do they argue with everyone in real life as well? It must be exhausting.

I was talking with @mpinco when @Victory_Overland posted that long unhinged rant I linked to.

LOL. I'm a Systems Engineer/EE/Project Management. Clearly we know nothing!
Weird, mpinco - wasn't it you who claimed that unpsrung weight didn't matter? Or was that one of your buddies? And I'm pretty sure you were at least one of the people who argued that the Cybertruck with its exoskeleton could be safe.
Yeah, so much for your claimed titles.
Yeah, so much for your claimed titles.
Except I never commented on the "Cybertruck" from Tesla. Get some sleep ..........
Oh, okay, you were just the one arguing that unsprung weight didn't matter, that they could be circumvented with shocks, and that the two wheels being connected could somehow be solved without disconnecting them.
You know what. I will get some sleep. I have a hard time keeping track of you guys and the reality free claims you all make.
In any case, your claimed titles/job descriptions means absolutely nothing. Even doctors get fired for incompetence or just plain sloppy work when they should know better. And so it is in all walks of life.

Cueless Pilat is going to blow a gasket when he sees that. Glad to see their engineers understand the market, unlike dandy McGovern and co.

Grenadier is designing a back-to-basics mid-sized 4x4 utility wagon with excellent payload, an inline 6, locking differentials, and beam axles beneath a ladder frame.
Reports claim production will begin in 2021 (we'll see).

Initial thoughts - that looks like a modern LC. Didn't they have other renderings that were more Defender'esque? Found it here:
Looks like the new D90 to me...from this link:
Ineos confirms BMW engines for 2021 Projekt Grenadier 4x4 | Autocar
BMW to supply petrol and diesel engines for back to basics 4x4, the first official details of which have been confirmed by the company for the first time
It uses an engine from BMW, interesting....not known as the pinnacle off offroad reliability.
Cool concept if it's not vaporware. The problems with some of these "bare bones" 4x4 type rigs is they simply don't have the economies of scale to bring price down to reasonable levels.
