Twin engined Ultima, built by Chris at Z-Cars. Runs two 400-500bhp turbo Busa engines and has 4WD.

Google it - a very impressive bit of kit.

there was an insane Alfa 164 with a 3l v6 powering each end. Think it was 'Gatwick alfa' (shows how long ago that was doing the rounds.

Quite a remarkable piece of kit.

Apparently the idea was from the 1935 Bimotore GP car.

Nuts.

Twini - BMC Mini and Mini Moke with a complete engine/box/drive in each end.

I've also seen a Seven with twin bike engines.

(Did you mean modern cars?)

Twin engine R5 GT Turbo - I'm pretty certain I've seen this at Rockingham a few years ago.

Your very own Twin Engined Saxo

Suzuki Cultus Pikes peak version, and the Escudo that followed it:


There was some rumour of a protype Mk1 MR2 with engines fore and aft as well, but I can find no more than that at the moment.
