They designed their own engine but it basically looks like an updated Suzuki G10(the 3 cylinder engine found in most metros-. Biggest changes appear to be A/C compressor and multi port sequential fuel injection instead of single point fuel injection. The intake runners also appear to be very long. I'd assume this is for air velocity or turbulence for better air/fuel mixing
