very simple, minimalistic design plays to my engineering side, light, water cooled, injected, lighter and much simpler than a 914.  Saw the 4cyl run at osh this year.....  very smooth.



I like the six.... would be super smooth.  I hope they don't suffer the same pre-production demise as so many others.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Looks interesting, cant help wonder why the compression is so low, would maybe lend itself nicely to a low boost turbo to improve the  

Fuel consumption a bit and allow higher service ceiling.

From my understanding, the flathead design inherently has a lower compression ratio due to the  extra wide combustion chamber - a geometric limitation and drawback.
