It’s no secret that Roush engineering was hired to attempt to integrate an unspecified new engine into one of the existing Elio prototypes...
So what was the outcome...
Let’s speculate for a moment...
1) Maybe there never was an outcome because Elio ran out of money to funded Roush’s R&D work...
2) Maybe Roush determined that Elio’s chassis would not accommodate the new engine without major revisions...
3) Maybe Roush determine the newly specified engine was not a good match for achieving Elio’s gas mileage goals...
4) Maybe Roush determine that the existing transmission was not compatible with the new engine...
5) Maybe Roush determined producing the Elio with the newly proposed engine would result in costs that would greatly increase the price of the Elio vehicle...
6) Maybe Roush concluded the Elio vehicle as designed would never meet Paul’s Price and performance specifications...
I promise you it’s one of the above scenarios...
