The First Pictures of the Elio Engine in the P5
by The Elio Team

Happy Friday Elio’ers! Wow, what a week... so exciting. You see and read about the progress that we make every day through our various communication tools like blogs, social media and email. Some days it is incremental and some days it is “behind the curtain” so we hold off sharing until things are finalized.

Well, this is just too exciting to hold any longer.

But wait, before we get to the bigger news, we wanted to keep you in the loop and let you know that we held a supplier summit this week in Detroit. Actually it started yesterday and continues through today. These paradigm shifting summits continue to exceed expectations as we work our way through this exciting project to design and develop the Elio for America and the world. The feedback from the meeting is always interesting especially the recap about the incredible group of experts that come together and the creative/ingenious/unique solutions that they create for your vehicle. We will discuss the Supplier Summit in more detail in the coming weeks.

Progress can, and does, come in most any form, but today is special. We are very happy to share, for the first time publicly, pictures of the Elio engine in the Elio P5 prototype! Here are a couple of views to soak in:

This is a huge step along our journey. A purpose developed engine in a high-mileage, low cost vehicle that is made in America. The mission continues with the engine and the E vehicles, so stay tuned for more information about our continuing momentum.

ICYMI – In case you missed it – our friends at Motley Fool have done two pieces about Elio Motors in the last week that we wanted to make sure you saw. Check these out:

Looks like 3 engine mounts like the Geo Metro.
Spark plugs up front, easy to get to.
Radiator mounted with reservoirs on the side, that's interesting.
Looks like a temporary plate on the right side of the engine (black)

Aisin is a Japanese company, so that makes sense.

It should be the production (or near production) transmission. Not sure if it'll have the automated shifting, though.
