found this on a chinese car show site

Called the Lifan520 this new compact sedan is powered by a 4-cylinder 1.6-liter petrol engine supplied by Tritec of Brazil. It is the same engine as found in the Mini Cooper.

spun eh?

Yea it says that in the specs in my first post i think.

Still a very under powered motor for it's size.

it would have to be cheap to sell... coz the parts & service would be a problem
