Interesting. That's a Swiss-made "Ecomobile" by a company called Peravez: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecomobile

Another Swiss company (or rather, person...) tried to pair the principle with a turbocharged Hayabusa engine about 15 years ago, but nothing much came out of that but prototypes and numbers that sounded too good to be true: https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/acabion-gtbo-the-rocket-motorcycle-ar30141.html
 
An Ape working very hard... note the leap on downshift ?

Who the fuck imports a Sentra?

The same kind of people that imports a USDM Focus or whatnot. I had to pull up an 1980's Escort for engine parts because that's what Ford decided to put in a 2000's car for the US market.

Seen today: I'm always a bit of a loss with current cars. What was that? - Had a very angry 4-pot Golf GTI sound to it (read: annoying high drumming and fake misfire crackles)
