According to the press release engine is a DOHC w/ 4 cylinders. Capacity of
1796, 10:1 compression ratio, 5 speed tranny. Front and rear suspension w/
double wishbone;
THe workhorse has a diesel injection engine etc etc. My guess is they are
building the demo unit now. Picture as you guessed is probably one of the
ones build by the frogeye co. or even from a 60's press photo. Who knows.
Interesting stuff though.
