A non-turbo diesel is an interesting choice of competitor. The big selling point of the Kohler motor is that it's almost silent - even the valve train is belt-driven to reduce noise.

Not sure a rotary engine screaming at 6500RPM is comparable here to a diesel with a peak torque at 2000 and peak power at 3600.

I'm guessing they will never actually release a commercially viable product. 20 years to design an ICE is...too much.
