More to the point, who would want a crude 3 cylinder engine in a decent

Irrelevant to my point about weight.

See below.

And of course that vehicle is a hybrid. So you get the
weight penalty from the electric motor and battery pack.

True, but the engine still produces 600 hp from a very neat 2 litres
package.

But whether that engine could be used as a stand alone unit is the very
real question. Unless you like comparing apples with oranges.
