IO-390-X Four-cylinder, fuel-injected, horizontally opposed, air-cooled direct drive, 390 cubic inches (6.39 litres), 210 hp (157 kW) at 2700 rpm, dry weight 308 lb (140 kg), The "X" designation is a generic indicator for all engines in the family.
In July 2020 Van's introduced a new version of the Lycoming IO-390, designated as the IO-390-EXP119 and optimized for the RV-14. The engine has new exhaust and induction systems and puts out 215 hp (160 kW). It has a revised oil sump, aluminum induction pipes, oil pump and accessory case that saves 10 lb (5 kg) of weight.
The change was made due to Lycoming Engines not planning to certify the IO-390 for automotive fuel as an option. The IO-540 will provide the same cruise performance and fuel economy, but it weighs 41 kg (90 lb) more. However, it will allow the Panthera's gross weight to be increased by 95.25 kg (210 lb) to make up for the extra weight.
