New 12-cylinder engine - not exactly Locost
If a 13" wide x 40" long engine that makes 650 foot pounds of torque at 1200 rpm and 200 hp at 2000 rpm sounds interesting, check this

Maybe we can arrange a group buy ( ).

This one's not cheap either but it's already found in a car application. Looks a bit crowded under the bonnet of the Focus.

i had a go in a local plod fiesta a few years ago fitted with the 998 orbital 2 stroke.
the thing was absolutly stunning ie 0-100 in 6.5 seconds, its a shame ford never made them into production vehicles they would have mad super mid
engined engines
