New style engine LOL

Take a look at this - BRIGHT SPARK
apparently this Scorpio has a revolutionary new style 2.3 petroleum powered engine that requires NO spark plugs

1) Maybe they were taken out at the last service and not replaced
2) Probably just because he can't see them he thinks there ain't none
3) Home built hybrid ? (gi-normous batteries in the boot and back seat, drives by holding the key in position III)

Just sent a message to the person selling that car asking what he meant by no plugs, His reply was.........
the vehicle starts electronically through the system so does not need spark plugs.... Could that be right...

Could be about as right as the Scorpio still being in production. 
Anybody seen the 2009 model yet ?

Would it be safe to assume these non existent spark plugs havent been changed recently then?

hi there
think we might have done this one to death now.
best to let the seller try and sell his car. no one here wants one that possibly hasn't been serviced correctly.
