funny. check out the Video!

What a brilliant idea. Independently reving engines one in the front and one in the boot!

Must be two excellerator pedals??? Two Gear Shifts?

can you imagine having your mate in the passenger seat controlling the throtte/gear change on the back wheels while you drive the front!


would be hilarious until you crash and die.

Remember from years ago reading a mag article where someone put an extra engine in his CRX. just googles it and found this which is along the same lines...

I also seem to recall in the days of Hakkinen & Coulthard, didnt they double up the engines in an A Class?

Is this road legal at all?

I think there is a reason they all end up as projects!

Didn't John Cooper do a twin-engined mini that ended very badly?

There have been lots of twin engined cars over the years. The first I remember seeing was a immaculately done Mk1 Golf with a 2.0 16V motor at each end.

You just have to synchronise the gear shifts, through a single lever on standard H pattern style 'boxes like this, and have the clutch and accelerator pedals operate both clutches and accelerators. The load placed on the engines by the transmission system/grip on the road will balance quite a lot of mismatched throttle etc. Get out of sync between the gearchanges and it all goes horribly wrong though :)

Kit cars like the twin ZX9 engined Tiger are a differant matter entirely :) (http://www.tigerracing.com/z100.php)
