About time. Sounds like it is turn some healthy RPMs Sounded like more than 2800 but I'll take your word for it. I wish we could read the charts. Sounds like the DYNO room when the bike is being tuned.
Now ELIO post this Engine everywhere get one on the road and let America see it . Invite the people with real money in to look around.

Very nice. I expected it to sound more like a Harley (rumble rumble rumble), instead it sounds like a airplane engine. Since they said they just got all the parts done perhaps it really wasn't ready a month ago. But as the old saying goes, better late then never. Very interesting.

I'll go out on a limb and say you will see engine in a new Elio at New York auto show.

the only auto shows I've attended have been antique car clubs meeting at a local hotdog joint .... so, my knowledge of something link the show in NY is nonexistent .... at such a show could they setup a display and run the engine as shown in the video ....

No. This auto show is more for manufacturers to show off what they've been working on to the press. It also is a medium to gauge public reaction to design cues. Magazines like Car and Driver and Popular Mechanics will go and report on the cars. The local car shows that you've seen is a chance for car owners to show off how well they've taken care of a car and the mods they've done... or, in the case of most classical cars, how original their car is.

Just to clear up any confusion, this is what it looks like:
