Simply styled like a Corvair fan.
Low profile, probably decent airflow over the cylinders.
Never been keen on the "folded" fan belt on the corvair set up.

Looks like a Porsche fan being used....

Too ture Matt. I guy I knew in the 80's was running a Corvair motor. He used to go through fan belts all the time due to the twisting across the top roller. The power released when a belt broke though was amazing. The heat build up on the other hand was a slight problem.
