I guess my pic was of the newer remake of the Ford GT (although not the very latest) I read now where it needs to be at least 25 years old, so the one Jed posted above would be right.

Elio could use this to build at least 350 cars. I really believe they are going the 3 wheel route to try and skirt all the other automotive saftey rules and testing. 350 would be a big improvement over what they have so far.
I also wonder if the rules will allow a current EPA certified motorcycle or tractor motor like the Kubota turbo diesel, or a Honda parallel twin, or the new Can-Am parallel twin. That would really make some cool stuff possible.
