If you find the engine type, you'll quickly have it solved!

no, this car is a modified standard car with it's original engine. This car has been produced for over 20 years.

But that car didn't have an ordinary internal combustion engine, and was not steam, compressed-air or turbine-driven.

You didn't ask about an ordinary combustion engine??? You only asked about Otto-cycle or diesel. Which leaves one common engine type unaccounted for!

Other, non-conventional power source (i.e., not otto-cycle or diesel)?

Two-stroke engine is an Otto-engine as well!

I had never heard of that one [Day cycle].  ;)
You have, but perhaps not by name: it's the normal chainsaw (and SAAB) two-stroke.
Quite different from Herr Otto's cycle which is four-stroke.

 :o That was rather difficult to find, because of the very common word day. You learn something everyday here.  ;) So Joseph Day invented a two-stroke engine and so did Dugald Clerk

and then there was Wilhelm Oechselhauser, whose twin-piston two-stroke formed the basis of the Junkers Jumo diesel aero engine (licence built as the Napier Culverin), the Commer TS3/TS4 lorry engines and the Napier Deltic railway engines.



That's a Jumo 205, by the way.

Ok, first the base car - was it a passenger or a commercial vehicle?
