Are you guys talking about the weight of the motor? The motor weighs 290lbs. I just looked up the weight for a 2zzge(used in Elise for instance) just for comparison sake and it weighs around 250lbs.

You will never see that car on the road, period. I don't really think of it as a honda engine as well, it was developed for a race car (which is the main reason I said you will never see that car on the roads.) Those engines require frequent rebuilds, INSANE amounts of fuel, and are very rough. I think this is just one of those concepts you see every now and then where the designers were like "hmmm I wonder what would happen if we took...." and went to town. It's cool, but every company has their own little 600hp ALMS engine and a factory car they COULD put it in.
