4 cylinder water cooled Opel engine. You could drive one on the road but track wear would be a bitch. New track shoes are about $3500 FOB Europe. For a $60-100,000 vehicle you probably wouldn't want to risk it.

They are amazingly cute in person, not much bigger than a large touring bike.

It's not a motorcycle but I understand they turn well. Top speed is only about 44 mph.

Does the front wheel really steer?
I can't imagine that the front wheel would be effective at actually steering.
Does these actually steer with differential speeds of the tracks like any other tracked vehicle?

Yes Jas it does, the front wheel is not needed for low speed operation.

That would give a gold plated golf cart a run for most expensive cart on the course.

If I built that I would have levers like a dixie chopper to steer,not a motorcycle front.

The Scribner Museum at Camp Mabry has one they drive around on Muster Day and during the re enactments, I expect it was captured by the 36th in WWII. They are realllly cool to watch driving by...
