CN cars are great, but if they came in to replace the current lite car then they would use a spec engine from whatever manufacture decides to sponser it. Most likely Mazda.
From the FIA.
CN cars must have a engine source from a Group N class (aka touring cars) with a maximum of 3L and 6 cylinders. No racing engines allowed.

They is some spec car series like the radical cup that use V8s however.

In the first ever VdeV pre-season press conference, series organiser Eric Van der Vyver was keen to show off the new generation of CN engine which is set for use from 2017 onwards.

Produced by RDM, it’s a turbo-charged bespoke engine for use in the VdeV Endurance Proto series, which promises to be a significant upgrade over the older Honda engine which has even used since the early 2000s.

No teams on site here are using the new RDM powerplant, but there’s interest within the paddock from some teams wishing to upgrade going forward.
