I just woke up from a long nap, could you guys and gals fill me in on what happened to the engine unveil...

Pretty simple... It didn't happen.

This image was taken today inside the Elio display at the NASCAR race at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Not only is this a new marketing board featuring a photo of the actual IAV/EM engine but it also features an interesting change in the specs as it lists the engine as being rated at 60 HP instead of 55 HP as we have been told tor a while now.

Several members, who are known to have back channel connections with EM, have been reporting for several weeks that the dyno results were better than expected however this appears to be the first official information which supports this.

Pretty sweet looking engine. I hope they stick to using the stainless header in the product model!

Notice the test ports on the manifolds don't appear. Or at least are sealed off.
