I've seen engines like this before on the Internet.

Typically they were in a horizontal boxer configuration, and I don't remember them being Diesel.

No supercharger and or turbocharger?

That exhaust in the video looks a lot like a 1977 Porsche 911's thermal reactor.

The air intake path is wildly long.

With advancements in technology and innovative engineering methods, Achates Power has created a more fuel-efficient opposed-piston, two-stroke engine that meets today’s stringent emissions standards. By leveraging a broad suite of tools—such as computational fluid dynamics, laser Doppler anemometry, oil sulfur tracing and structural dynamics simulations, to name just a few—we have been able to revive the OPE architecture as a viable alternative for today’s transportation needs.
Yep, I thought it was a 2-stroke.
