Very impressive , have they run them on a motor yet ?

Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel

i'm sorry i dont see the point, from an engineering prospective its amazing, but from a practicability point of veiw, a subi donk will deliver heaps of power without all the fuss, if its air cooled you are after those chaps at porsche seem to have it nailed, personally i'd look at a corvaire flat 6 aircooled, but then again i'm quite happy with what vw fitted, i can pick up just as many speeding tickets with a 1.6 dak dak
