-They are offered with the following powers and main characteristics:
-Model DH160A4 / V4 giving 160 HP.
-Model DH180A4 / V4 giving 180 HP.
-Model DH200A4 / V4 giving 200 HP (at 2,500 rpm).
-Model DH160R4 giving 160 HP with vertical crankshaft.
-Model DH200R4 giving 200 HP with vertical crankshaft.

-There is a 300-420 hp in development being already a V-8 that can be upright or inverted V.
