new engine concept.

This article says the this new internal combustion engine is 50% cheaper to make, 50% smaller and lighter, 50% better emission and twice the fuel efficency.

Sounds pretty interesting.

so depending on the tune we could have an engine for our Mustang GTs, with either 300hp and 50mpg or 600hp with our same 25mpg. i'd prob take the 600hp one.

From the pictures it looks like the mating of a rotary and traditional engine.... pretty neat stuff

get the best of both worlds, a rotary crank and traditional piston valves.
