Default 10.8 liter 928 - Veyron Killer

Check out this wild 928 on the Top Gear vids site. Wow.

Scroll down to the "Secret Porsche 928 Veyron Exposed" vid in the "View Other Entries" section (the view other entries section has its own scroll bar on the right).

Bob Norwood had designed a Ferrari Testarossa with an engine front and rear. It was all engineered but I don't know if it was ever built. Can be done.

I also call BS. That rear engine looks Photochoped into the back. The air intakes are directed backwards toward the closed hatch. Would love to see this happen for real though.

Nope, not happening, although Car and Driver (or Motor Trend?) did do this with a Honda Civic back in the mid 80's....hmmm. Two 4 bangers there, one in front one in back..


Nope, not happening on the 928.

I have a article on a 1984 Honda CRX with two mills, I guess anytings possible but would love to see how they mated the second mill to an axle.

Also, there was a Top Gear episode with a Lotus 7 with two Hiyabushi motorcycle engines. 0-60 in something like 2.3 seconds. DOH!
