The innovation on this car is awsome, it's all about the tech; freevalve engine plus electric, 4-people hypercar but still light and aerodynamic. Very different from your usual hypercar.

He developed it using a Saab 9-5 like mine. Dude's a huge Saabnet, hence him trying to buy the company :)

Yes! Good for them pushing the envelope once again. I wonder how the motor will do long-term? :scratchhead:

The cylinder head is the interesting tech, developped by their partner company Freevalve. Also I think they still have a partnership on EV tech with Swedish-Chinese NEVS (which owns the assets of the defunct Saab).

Here is an image of the cylinder head on his Saab 9-5. By the way, I have since bought a second Saab 9-5 wagon. It is the rarest of the bunch, literally 1 of 1. It is getting a full build with a theme of Dodge Brass Monkey where all the chrome and wheels will be satin Bronze :)
