I like the watercooled opposed 4 concept, and I have speculated that it would really be a step function innovation for the R line.

What is the cylindrical object, the battery or fuel?

Very cool!
Thanks!

All wheels have embedded electric motors for final drive, so I guess some kind of smart electronics should be in control of power distribution.

Cylindrical object is a capacitor. As this is some kind of quasi-hybrid it could be used as buffer (like instead of the clutch), but more importantly i thought it would look cool.
