Lots of interesting ideas coming out.
Indeed, certainly to the eyes of this non-mechanic.
But few seem to answer your original search for an alternative for the
VW: a light engine of 40-60 HP, typical for a single seater.

Or what did I miss?
For that application, the Citroen 2-cylinder aircooled boxer seems one
of the rare alternatives; though it is smaller than the VW.

The Atlantic Ocean :-)

OK Bob, thanks for the reminder...
Still, you asked for a 40-60 HP engine
and all and sundry came up with 80-100 hp ideas,
that's my concern now.

Seems the US market has a hole, indeed, between
the 30-40 HP range and 80HP upwards.
Europe has _some_ offer there,
but not too much and indeed each with its limitations.
And we badly want information about Asian offerings,
as you already pointed out before.
