"Motus Motorcycles Completes World's First Direct Injected V4 Engine"

Based on a GM LS motor, it has plenty of pep for a little 4 banger.
It won't be long before these end up in a VW Dune Buggy.

It's a 2-valve OHV motor a lot like a typical American V8. Their last engine calibration put out 161hp on the dyno, and it sounds badass!

Skip to 2:30 if you just want the engine noises. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kooY...eG0&playnext=1

That is so sweet! Almost sounds like a v8 . Much closer than a 4.3 v6 . I want one !
