Default VW derivative engine in Kitplanes-Help Please!

Good Morning all.
A few months ago I saw a VW derivative engine in the front of the kitplanes
magazine, in the What's New section in the front. I have since misplaced
this magazine and can't remember the name of the maker/distributor. The
engine is based on the VW engine, but I think didn't actually use any VW
parts. It was basically an upgraded model of a previous version and had
distinctive red anodizing to some of the parts. I thought it was a Great
Planes angine but I checked their site and it's not.
Can anyone help me out here?
My appreciation in advance.

I checked the What's New sections, but couldn't find that. Could it be this
one?

Have not seen the kitplanes mag, but could it be a Limbach?

I checked this site and was very impressed about everything but one thing.
Price. At the current exchange rate it would cost me more than for a 914.
About two months ago it would have been a different story. We were getting
goos $s for the Euro.
Thanks,
Rob.

Default VW Help Please! Reggie wins it!

Thanks to all who replied.
The engine was in-fact an aerovee and Reggie supplied the link.
Many thanks to all who replied.
Thinking of putting it in a CH701 with a woodcomp beta and reversible prop.
This could be the ultimate STOL setup.
Any opinions on that set-up.
Any feedback on these propellers.
Rob.
