Pretty impressive really, more power than an engine with equivalent emissions and lower emissions than one with similar power. It's also smaller, lighter and more fuel efficient than engines with similar power

Sounds pretty good if you compare it to my old 1.2 C. Less power, bigger heavier engine and no turbo to make driving through town easier.

Probably expensive for what it is, and I wouldn't have one, but clever stuff.

Bike engines don't produce enough torque to be a realistic option for a car.

That's pretty interesting how the pistons aren't opposed.

They're built as specials, not with longevity in mind, or economy for that matter
