If I did the math right, that is about 40 ft-lbs torque in a 2,500 lbs car.

This was written a lot about in Swedish technical magaazines a few years
ago. At that time it was a compressed air drive only IIRC. Lots of stuff is
clearly bull. I looked at the animation where a big fuss is made about
spending 70 degrees out of 360 at TDC (which is also a weird thing, TDC is
pretty instantaneous, right?). What good is that if the connecting rod
geometry gives almost zero torque during that time? There's no free ride...
