That's news to me. Last I heard they were using a sourced 3 cyl engine (not sure of the manufacturer).
Deciding to build your own engines is a HUGE undertaking. At this point it makes the Elio look even farther from reality.
I really hope they do succeed, but so far there have been a lot of things that don't seem to add-up for the timeline and price-point they are aiming at. This just adds one more.
