I would like to know what happened to the big dyno test result a month ago? Big build up and then swept under the rug?? I am getting disappointed with some of these things. If they are not sure of something then say nothing at all.

Correction. It was 17 days ago (2/6/15), and it was the first public(?) start which was to be at an event for the press and "stakeholders".

I do agree that high RPM engine produce more HP but I also believe real power is in torque for real power. I still think it will hove more Hp and more torque. If I am wrong that still great. I will be happy withe the estimated goals. I still want to see the results of the test.

Thought I read it could be tuned to over 100HP but was kept detuned for mileage?
An option was a tuner kit...... maybe......... ??

I long for the day when the complexity and maintenance cost of internal combustion engines are replaced by EVs.

having owned and thankfully just sold an EV, I hope that day never arrives ... EV's can/do offer a good option for the meeting the transportation demands for some people, they can't for others .... I have no problem with anyone buying whatever best meets their wants/needs .... I just don't see EV's having evolved far enough to be effective over a broad range

So what happened to this press event did it happen? If it did how come no announcement of it?

it was announced that it was postponed due to a schedule conflict of a partner .... some insider reports came out saying IAV had an emergency to come up with a major client .... nothing definite since .... EM has stated on Facebook that it is being rescheduled and will include something additional
