Nope, not a shovelhead either as it's the same as today's engines. Not at anywhere near 10,000 rpms either. Seems you two don't know much about motorcycle and snowmobile modern engine offerings for these items.
BTW, a 1.0 liter engine would not likely to be the engine in a 3,000 lb auto frame. More like a 2000 to 2400 lb curb weight vehicle and then put 4 humans and full fuel in that vehicle and tell me all about the tremendous power you'll experience. An overpriced priced little thin metal etc unitized body grocery getter perhaps marginally OK! Does a Prius with passengers climbing a 6% long grade holding a long line of traffic behind come to mind?
I've driven several cars/vehicles in Europe with their 1.6L and even their monsterous 2.2L engines and with 4 people crammed inside they can hardly get out of their own way. God forbid if you'd have anything heavy in the trunk or even a little utility trailer behind with 4 humans inside the vehicle! Europe and the rest of the world uses vehicles very differently than here on the USA and Canada. Most people on this side of the oceans haven't experienced what driving is like in most of the rest of the world but seem to post comments about their opinions only.
