to be up front and honest, I'm not interested in buying it, but I would love to see a pic of the engine. Where do they put it?
greasy_beast, i sent you a pm. for the rest of you who are interested, as i know i definitely was here is a shot of the engine
the turbo is wee, the intercooler is wee, its all there, just smaller. i think i saw somewhere that the weight of the engine is around a 160lbs.
what really struck me about this car is that mercedes didn't cut out things that i would consider "non-critical", they just found a way to fit all the things in there. it has a/c, which i was surprised by. the intercooler was a bit of a shocker. it has its own portable air compressor for fixing a flat ( no spare tire ). it even has an auxilary electric heater for the cabin because the little engine takes a while to make some decent heat.
there were more surprises too. i was finding things out about this car for months.
it was pretty cool
it will be missed.

engines is in back! is the turbo like the gas one integrated in to the exhaust manifold?
Maybe this thing can be cranked up to rival this one:
