Don't take this Peugeot on!

In Sheffield today i saw what looked like a heavily modified 306.
It was certainly non-standard.
Turns out it has a 3.0 V6 at either end, both producing 225 bhp, non-charged.
A 450 bhp, 4wd Pug 306!

Dafter still, the 23 year-old owner plans to turbocharge both motors to give around 700 bhp.
Kin-eck!

No, i didn't challenge him, it was parked up outside The Boardwalk music venue, where i was sorting some gigs out.
Although, given some decent/safe road space, i guess my M5 (507 bhp) would have been a good match for a lighter, 450 bhp 306 maybe?
If and when the guy does get it up to 700 bhp, i think he should, as you say, get it back more standard-looking.
By God would that then surprise a few supercar owners.
700 bhp? Tick.
4wd? Tick.
OMFG factor? Tick!

Oh, thanks for asking Matt, i'm doing really good, thanks.
Between the holidays and concerts, i am doing a little bit of bass guitar for practice sessions with a few groups.

bloody hell, some motor that

I have often wondered how easy it is to get 2 separate engines working together.
Surely there could be problems with 2 totally separate powerplants?

If you are interested, you may want to have a google of the "twini mini" coopers that John Copper dabbled with in the sixties.
Moke varients were also tried for the military, but poor ground clearance scuppered them

I am still coming to terms with the thought of a 700 bhp Pug 306!

[Richair]

Out of interest, was it on the road? If so, then tecnically the car is illegal. There are several rules of manufacture that all road cars must adhere too; one of which being that the engine can only have a single common plane crank. Therefore, multiple crankshafts/engines are not permitted in the UK! IIRC of course.

However, it could explain how a 23yr old has 'insurance' on a car like that....

I have been in a 400 bhp 306.

Quicker than an m3 by a fair amount

A few years back, when I had the Tuscan, I had an encounter with a very non-standard 306 on the Lincoln by-pass. He really wasn't going to let me get past!

[Beemer-5]

It's a bit stupid, if two engines is automatically illegal, yet, for example, a 250 bhp Bond Bug, a complete death trap, is legal!

[Richair]

Isn't it just! The uk; the land where you can have a road legal sofa, but not two engines

As far as im aware, there are just two main restrictions in the UK; one being the single engine rule, the other that the road wheels must not protrude further than the wheelarch above it...

A mate of mine has a 247 bhp Bond Bug. It is easily the most dangerous car i have ever driven.
