Smile game time: guess this engine

<img src="http://boards.rennlist.com/upload/mysteryengine.jpg" alt=" - " />
when i saw this i wondered how such an awesome car could exhist and i didnt even know about it. the Ebay add says One of a kind. very nice. and it has some very nice company in the showroom with it.

If you want to be a jerk and not play the game, the answer is <a href="http://213.160.68.192/ebay/faltz/m1_bilder.html" target="_blank">here</a>. BUT DONT TELL, I want to knwo if anyone here actually knows it without looking

Well, I've worked on the engine that's supposed to be in the picture. In all fairness this is a custom one off car, and I don't see anything that one can recognize to identify the engine w/, as it's completely covered with custom parts.

3 rotor twin turbo.

FYI, I didn't look at the link or the other posts.

EDIT: Oops. Kind of a tough angle.

I'd go with a three something, probably rotary, twin turbo something, probably hellish fast.
