Producing an engine is such a huge task, I'm not sure why they wouldn't secure one from a legitimate source. There are established companies out there that can consistently provide a proven powerplant.

Are they planning to build the transaxle too?

Their $6800 price-point continues to appear completely unrealistic to me.
