The term may be a usage that's not heard much anymore, short for motor car or motor vehicle. Car = motor. The usage survives in names of companies and dealerships: General Motors, Ford Motor Co., Fly-By-Night Motors — Bad Credit? NO PROBLEM!

Ah, thanks for the info. Somehow that thought didn't come to me at 3:30 in the morning. Still, I would like to see the actual motor, and the entire drivetrain.
Is this a toy of some super-rich oil tycoon in UAE or something? (guessing by the picture in the pic and the obvious expense)
