Hi, I have some questions about engines:

Will we have atkinson cycle, five stroke and/or six stroke engines?

I know they will not be in the game at the release, but maybe in the future? Atkinson cycle was invented in 1880's, and some modern cars, like the Prius, use it. And five/six stroke engines are, in theory, more efficient than four stroke, so some people say they are the future.

Interesting. But the article is pretty vague, gets 100 miles per gallon that means? that the engine only starts to fly and do 100 miles with a galone? doh of the chasis that have tried it on a lightweight buggy style / smart one or more heavy like a luxury sedan. such data are meaningless.
