Just some interesting concepts.

Radial Bi-rotary Balanced-piston Combustion engine

Duke Engine: 4-stroke Axial-Piston.

Duke's is my favourite, it's quite weird but it seems to actually work :D

It has a lot of potential. It's lightweight, compact, not too complex and puts out some nice figures for its consumption, it's multi-fuel too. They say they have been after the reliability issues inherent to this type of engine and that they apparently have solved them, thus making the engine commercially viable.

Kiwi powah!

I want to see a Duke-powered race car, then I'll be interested!

That's how it'd most likely look.

That duke engine seems like it would go through enough oil to make Deepwater Horizon jealous.

Its probably submerged entirely in oil yes.

First thing I thought of, something like a Seven or maybe something like a TVR.

Meh, on the duke axial piston one. its basically a swash plate piston compressor, with half of it cut off, and spark plugs.

Now GDI it and add a turbo.
