Came across a fascinating article on racer.com:

Apperently Nissan developed a 3 cilindre 1.5l turbo engine which brings 400hp to the table at a weight of... 40kg.

It will be used in the ZEOD RC prototype.

Just for a visual reference, this is the engine:

Any idea what the engine itself weighs though? I bet it's at least triple what the Nissan weighs...
