Just heard about this one off custom mini that's powered by two Kawasaki 1300 cc engines.

Each 1300 engine and trasmisission powered its own wheel, connected togther with some kind of belt... I've never seen any detailed pictures of the engine setup, would love to see how it was done.

240 hp in a compact hatchback... I bet it was "ferocious" indeed.

There's a Smartbusa rip snorting around on Youtube which is hilarious. Imagine a turbo Hyabusa engine in a Smart Car !!

I remember reading about that car in my Dad's "Autocar" magazine when I was still at school ;)
