yep, been watching that for a few months. A couple of issues back the back page interview in Car & Driver had one of the principals. Guy used to be a Ford SVO honcho. Real "green" name EcoMotor but makes some great HP and very slick design.

Nice. Simple concept that should work perfectly.

it's as wide as the car!

I don't know how emissions would be with that...the video only referenced military type trucks which obviously don't have to pass inspection.

Also interesting that the German guy referenced the motor's power by stating it had 300HP, which I thought was odd for a 2-stroke diesel. Wonder what the torque looks like?

I was surprised by that number as well. I am guessing that in it full glory and testing it was turbo'd.

I would love to see the full one which is double that size which he said had 600hp.

The emission if understood correctly from what he said were all good. Cool that you can design it to run on different fuels
