I don't think they specified cylinder count, but if it's a 2-stroke 2 cylinder @ 111HP, 170 is about right. They gave ~175lbs as the weight of the engine, but I'd hope that's for the whole pod as the Insight's 3 cylinder only weighs 125lbs crated (one person who ships them claimed it was actually only 95 dry, on Insight Central) and the 5MT with it weighs 56lbs.

Really neat car though. It's unfortunate that GM probably crushed it.

EDIT: Has me thinking about a seat swap too.
