I still remember when it was very few car that had one HP per Cubic inch. Dodge has a 273 that had 275 HP and Corvette's could do in a number if engines. the mighty Hemi 426 had 425 HP. The Elio has 55 Cubic inches and 55 HP. Compared to Motorcycle engines not as much HP but compared to cars impressive. Please build the we all will come.

55 ft lbs of torque as well. That's what'll get us up to speed.

I can't wait to see the torque curve as, with a stroke longer than its bore as well as two stage intake valve lift and timing, this engine is designed with low end torque in mind. This should make this vehicle plenty useful in the real world.

My dyslexia saw your thread title and read it as: "one horsepower", and I thought to myself, "man! This site is full of extremists! One guy has to have a 400 hp V-8, and this guy insists on redesigning the Elio to work with a ONE horsepower motor. Sheesh."
