Also looks like the perfect small aircraft engine, making a very fast 4-6 seater.

at 400 bhp - I imagine it could turn just about anything... but at that much power - you'd have to wonder if it would be worth it to convert into electrons.
NOW... if you scaled this thing down to a 1 or 2 cylinder, hyper-efficient range-extender engine in the back of my Leaf.... now we're talking.

Oh. Uh. Hmm. I kind of went into this article expecting to poo-poo on the engine. "The block is too small. It won't hold up to constant use. Blah. Blah. Blah." It's being developed as a racing engine though and that's half the battle (though to be fair racing engines have a way shorter lifespan than commuter engines). It'll be interesting to see where this goes.
