I think I understand they are not going to build another Elio P5 to put the new engine in it... is that right?

This is the shot I started with.
Not sure what P it is but the rear tire is way too wimpy for me!
Don't care about the MPG give me room for tires!

That's my understanding. They are making a few tweaks to the P4 before production, though.

So the P1 in post # 3 looks like it is a single swing arm in back. Anyone know if that is the way the P4 is also?
A single swing arm would be much appreciated and easy to rebuild to fit a 15x10" wheel back there.
Edit: Wait I forgot there is no street tires wider than 215s in 15" size.
Well I guess more engineering to fit 16s or 17s on it then!

I can't find the picture but I'm 99.9% sure it's a single-sided swing arm on the P4.
Not true. Here's one that's 345 wide:Edit: Wait I forgot there is no street tires wider than 215s in 15" size.

Oh that is one beautiful rear end there! I can work with that for sure.

Actually there is a number of 225s too but they are all treadwear 200 and not safe in the winter. Been there, done that, have the video of being stuck on flat ground...

HOLD IT!
Before you quote the beautiful rear end comment ^ and twist it all out of shape I'll save you the step and post up the hind end of my car with a nice personal plate on it.
