More engines to follow

Currently, all models are specified with 185 hp, but it could well be that the engine will be set differently for the various models and the performance will then still differ slightly.

The company wants to offer a total of ten different models by 2024. Some of these will also be powered by engines in the medium and small displacement classes. In addition, the company also wants to consider releasing an electric model.
