The Aerocar 2000 is intended to add a removable "flight module" consisting of wings, tail, and powerplant to a modified Lotus Elise roadster.
Another difference with the original Aerocar (and similarity to the Mizar) is that the flight module is not designed to be taken away from the airfield.
In the Aerocar 2000's case, the flight engine is a twin-turbocharged V-8 motor from a Lotus Esprit.

You Know folks, I knew Molt Taylor the guy who actually (this guy was up there with Douglas, Northrop, or Lear a real genius - unappreciated) invented the Aerocar; a car with detachable wings and reasonable highway performance.
Molt thought that with little effort that the sky would be much better to fill with flying cars rather than tear up good earth for freeway - he did have something there, he even thought that you could deal with the noise problem with all those little Areocars whizzing about.
