Same here…I heard it’s unbelievably loud. Something tells me you’re not going to get great gas mileage with this set up though..

In the blog they say that it's a custom built twin-turbo 4-rotor in a front engine rear drive configuration, with a "racing gearbox, prop shaft and rear differential." Couldn't really find any more specifics.

Thanks for the additional details, @sm1ke

It was great to see the owner and builder, Kawato at the show…It has been a while since we chatted in person, great to see he’s doing well and busier than ever!
