I like this reverse engineering thing going on here. Maybe we should start a pool to see who can get the closest to the actual production vehicle. We know some things so far. No new technology is being presented. FWD, front engine. Do we have confirmation on a 1L 3cyl engine? The video states "world renown racing heiritage of its engine builder under the hood". What about trannys? Will it have a full reverse or an electric driven reverse? How about the autotranny? CVT? What about body construction? Metal, GRP or something else? What about steering? Rack and pinion? Doesn't list power steering at all. Rear suspension mono shock? How about turning radius?
