v-twin car?

[joesmith1555]

Since most of the questions concerning bike engined cars is about the lack of torque, why hasn't anyone tried a v-twin engine instead of an inline four? Everything I have read says that v-twins have significantly more torque than the inline fours. Is there any reason this wouldn't work in a seven style vehicle?

and it would sound gorgeous !

actually the inline 4 produce more torque ltr for ltr but at higher revs hence the reason why twins are given capacity concesions for wsb ie 750cc 4 against 1000cc twin. Its up to personal taste really.

if you are interseted though look at the stuart taylor site they've got as vtr sp1 engined pheonix

Stuart Taylor also had an article in Kit-Car a couple of months back talking about the SP1 engine and a couple of V4 options, I think a Honda VFR750 engine (or 2) would be good for a laugh. Still reckon you could get a Subaru flat 4 in though and that would give the same sound but just a little more bhp !!!

shame the V twin sounds like someone blowing a raspberry.

It's also rather slow. See 750 club RGB series race results.
