Did you look further on the site 
"750cc watercooled 8 cylinder, 90 degree vee configuration, bore and stroke 56 x 38mm, 'Flat' (180) crankshaft design, 6 speed close
ratio cassette-style gearbox, 4 valves per cylinder, 17,000 rpm redline (race motors 19,000rpm), 120 kW power output projected. "
He also produces a 1000cc version - Imagine how cool that would be in a BEC - 17000 revs past Mr Plod

Do you think it's any worse than most spaceframe single seaters ?
Apart from the usual nosecone which does nothing for crash protection ?
Maybe no worse than 20/30 year old spaceframe single seaters, but significantly worse than current designs IMHO.

That thing looks incredible - the view from the cockpit must be amazing - never miss another apex!

From what I can see, the front bell cranks operate on either end of a single shock.
How well could that perform? it looks a lot lighter/simpler than two shocks but how much would it compromise the handling?

there are some repercussions like different roll resistance etc. Its been discussed in the past but since i cant remember what the system is called, i
cant search for it!
