At the start of 2020, Mike put out a video about a lost British sportscar called the Connaught Type-D, with the unique thing about it being that it had a tiny 2.0-litre supercharged V10 engine. We had so many people messaging us to rediscover the car after the company went under in 2004, so Mike set about trying to find the unique sportscar. And after some serious digging, he found it!
The V10 Mazda MX-5 project has reached its next stage, with the Mk2 being readied for its unique engine swap. Mike also takes a trip to Connaught to get an update on the amazing little 2.0-litre V10.
VIDEOS
Here are a selection of videos created by Drivetribe for their Youtube channel / social media platforms. The videos are centred around the V10 engine, its derivatives and applications and used in the Connaught Type D car from 2005.
There is also coverage of our V10 conversion for the Mazda MX5.

The world has seen plenty of V6 and V8 MX-5s, but Mike is going one step further with his 1998 NB. Resurrecting the long lost 2.0-litre Connaught V10 engine, this new DriveTribe project car is going to be one to remember.
What happens when you take two V10 engines, gear them together and slap a Lamborghini gearbox on the other side? Well, you end up with an X20 engine, like this one built by the guys at Villiers for a Connaught supercar!
