Definitely a rotary wankel engine, Rx8 version. 230hp out the box, 10k red line, 6 speed box, lsd, small and light. Rx8 because it has the uprated oil vanes, had one for a while and ran 50k no problem while using hardly any oil. Not much torque but you don't really need it in such a light car.
Saturn cant afford it yet but as soon as we can it will be getting built. Just need to find a cheap right off, now they are nearly 8 years old shouldn't be too bad. In fact there is a fair few there on e-bay, bargains will be there to be had:
