We are likely to not know the details anytime soon (if ever), but I would love to know what the two potential core engine solutions were. Petrol vs. diesel (unlikely?) Cylinder count (4 vs 6?), Cylinder configuration (Inline vs. V?), some other innovative thing that could be tested on a one cylinder test engine without building a full scale engine? Did they build two full scale engines? Did they get beyond test rigs before they made a final decision or did they maybe even make it to the level of running them in a mule?
