...not yet.The Indy Car is a 2.0 formula. No prizes for the sort of HP this will make...Bit more than a Zetec I guess!!! 
...each cylinder will be around 125 CC..

Now that sounds interesting. At first I thought siamesed cylinders (re 400 SBC) were making a come back....maybe the paired cylinders have a common combustion chamber.Seen that before,two pistons common chamber...

What if any are the advantages of this design over the current one? It looks like it is going to be a very expensive and complicated engine.

....more cylinders more power strokes etc..The Honda Formula 1 engine back in the 60's/ 70's was an example. Formula 1 also used to be V8 and went to V10.. Many strange cylinder set ups over the years..Look up a engine called the 'King Bugatti' engine or the Rolls-Royce Merlin etc etc...

I'm familiar with both of those engines and a few other exotics. They are all interesting and beautiful. True engineering works of art. But they all have one thing in common, they are now just foot notes in history. Bits and pieces of their design did funnel down into more traditional configurations but they did not survive in total. We always return to the standard block configuration.
